I hope Mc has more skills as a developer than as a chat room monitor.
... wha?
One of the best ways of supporting development is to engage the community in a positive way so the developers don't have to spend their time answering routine questions in the many channels of communication that we have available.
Plenty of people to answer questions. Mc is just one of the most helpful right away.
Has anyone found organizational or corporate sources of support?
I'm trying, but my source wants some accountability tied in with the funds. This is actually what sparked the Patreon idea of funding - Patrons are sure where their money is going. Everyone wants something fixed or improved, and the only way to guarantee that is something like Patreon. If devs don't follow up on their promises, the funders can pull funding.
As far as some company that just wants to dump money on the project without any particular fix/requirement/agenda: Nope. Still chasing that unicorn. :)
Stay tuned. -C

We have two developers who are prepared to trial such a system. Tav and Mc (Marc), both attended the hackfest, both have worked on Inkscape intensively for quite a while.
I want to see if it's possible try and get a trial set up quickly. Mc will leave education in 2 months and must decide to continue developing Inkscape or move on to full time employment.
I encourage this plan, I would like to see funded development on Inkscape.
