I just want to clarify since two users have commented in this thread with recommendations of what should be worked on. This is NOT a thread for people to post wishlist items. This announcement is about our organization's participation in GSoC 2016 and to let potential student participants know we will be mentoring and to ask any questions they might have.

The students are the ones who make proposals, we do not have any control over what proposals they will make. Implementing CMYK or spot colors natively rather than via the currently available CMYK workflow is definitely outside the scope of a summer of code project. We've already had 2 previous summer of code projects dedicated to color management related issues and users still aren't satisfied (trust me it's a HUGE undertaking, if it wasn't, it would be implemented already).

Cheers,
Josh

What Inkscape really needs? • /r/Inkscape
So drop your opinions in the comments. But few things I'd love to see is. First easier shortcut manager. Like an option to change them. Changeable...

A nice to have would be the PDF files with choosable CMYK or RGB color
coding.

I like inkscape very much. But the PDF images while looking nice on my
screen always have a wrong color when printed by the publisher.

When one would be able to choose the output, then the publisher would to
have to stick to the color I wanted and not the one, some translation
program choose.

My 5 cent.
