Hi Josh,
From my perspective, as an inkscape-dev novice, I find it pretty
difficult to get involved with the development of new features because I'm not really familiar enough with the Inkscape source or gtk+. Although there is a nice to-do list of simple coding tasks[1] and a development roadmap,[2] it's possibly worth noting that there are currently only six blueprints and ~25 unfixed bugs actually tied to the 0.49 release. Personally, I'd find it much easier to get heavily involved in the project if (a) it's clear exactly what is required for each release and (b) there's an indication of how difficult each task is. Perhaps, therefore, it would be worth making more use of blueprints and targeting bugs/wishlist items to the forthcoming release so that we can more easily see our progress, and the light at the end of the tunnel. Also, some projects use a "bitesize" bug tag to indicate the easy items. This might be more maintainable/accessible than the current wiki page?
For this, I recently asked ~suv to add the "easy-fix" tag to bugs she thinks are easy to fix.
Cheers, Johan
