Hi all,
If you are on Windows and and have a little extra time this week, you can help Inkscape out considerably.
There are several _bad_ bugs that are going to afflict Windows users of our new Inkscape release, that we may have a decent chance to eliminate. However, unfortunately our developers don't have access to Win32 machines, so cannot easily test their fixes to make sure they've fixed the issues.
If you are on Win32, and are comfortable installing and running extremely cutting edge stuff (including running gdb), you can help. We need someone who for the next week or two can install the latest code and test out a few bugs we're working on.
This is a great way to contribute to Inkscape and to directly make it better for Windows users, so if you've wanted to do that but felt that your technical skills were a bit light, this may be a perfect opportunity.
Email me if you're interested in helping, or contact Jon Cruz by email or IRC, to get started.

Hmm, I wonder if Inkscape runs on React OS?
I might try it later if I have time (and enough bandwidth) but in case anyone else wants to give it a go there is a VMWare player image of React OS. http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/community.html http://www.reactos.org/xhtml/en/download.html
*Sorry for the repost Alan, damn reply to all button
