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.

How about this: we talked at OCAL recently about coloring books [1]. Once Inkscape is able to create such a book, we put one on sale with an addition of 1 or 2 USD to the price, all profits going to the person who implemented PDF export. I have no idea if this can generate a compelling sum of money (or if it can generate money at all).

If this works, i have other similar ideas, for example printing a calendar.

For making a coloring book, I would think our current PDF export via ps=>ps2pdfa would be good enough.
