Hi all,
I've been noticing a LOT of requests for PDF/PS support in Inkscape. Either export or import or both.
I'm fairly certain that this is the #1 top feature need for Inkscape right now.
Over the past year or so, I've been fishing around for a volunteer to implement this. But unfortunately I'm coming up dry. Ain't no one I can find with an itch to implement this, not on a volunteer basis anyway.
However, there are a TON of users with this need. Some of whom, I'm fairly certain, would be willing to pledge some money towards it. Maybe a little, maybe a lot, who knows.
I think if enough people pitched in funds, we could actually make this happen. This is one feature I think we as a community could just force through, by hiring some mercenary to attack and kill it for us, hardcore style.
Can you all tell me what you think? I really have no solid idea if enough people would be open to this plan. Are you a user that'd be willing to pledge $100 or more towards this? Are you a developer that'd be willing to commit to doing this work for some $k? Or do you have some ideas on how we could make this need get met? Please email me and let me know what you think.
