Hi Brynn, Eduard,
I get about 5-10 emails a week to the website administrator's email
address directly from users.
60% are asking for help with installing inkscape or using inkscape.
30% are replying to their registration emails to say "I'm real" or in
one case, their username and password (which was the same as their
gmail account of course)
5% are asking to sponsor inkscape, request redirection to an official
person.
1% are reporting an issue with the website
It's rare that users get such a request before the web admin, but as
long as we handle the requests in the best way possible. For requests
to engage a developer in contracted support, they can be emailed to the
mailing list I think, so active developers can contact the company and
offer their personal services if appropriate.
It's a good way to get money into developer's hands for improving
Inkscape. Especially if they're already contractors and are in the same
country as the company.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

They chose me too! Via PM on Inkscape Community. Said I had posted
a
message on
their forum (although I've never heard of, and can't find their
forum). Almost
identical message.
I responded by email. (Thought maybe confused me with Bryce.) I
gave mailing
list info, and offered to put in touch with specific developer, if he
could name
them. But apparently he's just reaching out.

Dear Eduard Braun, Oparix, another user of the Inkscape web site, has
sent you a
personal message: Inkspace Issues - AxiDraw3
================================================ Hello, My name is
Andrew and I
read your bio on the Inkscape website. We're new to using Inkscape
and we
currently use it for pen plotting. The pen plotter we are using is
called the
AxiDraw3. Inkscape has been quite challenging to use at scale. We
currently use
Inkscape and our pen plotter to write handwritten cards. I understand
that
Inkscape is free but is there a paid consultant service we can use to
help us
streamline our business? I sincerely appreciate your time. I check my
email more
than I check my messages on this forum so if you could respond back
at
andrew@...3622... that would be incredibly appreciated. Thanks in
advance!
