Re: [Inkscape-user] [Inkscape-devel] GSoC Text Help (you don't need to be a developer to help with this)
Wow! Thank you so much! I did not expect such a quick turnaround. I got one other response privately as well so it will likely end up being a nuanced hybrid of the two.
Seriously, I was thinking it would have taken days and this was super fast! I literally can't thank you enough!
Can I also ask if you're replying from a specific mailing list? I want to make sure we're not underestimating our community on the user list. (Note: I remember you from the 2015 hackfest, so please know I'm not thinking you're a random person :))
Cheers, Josh

The below version (in Markdown instead of WikiText) is just under 1500 characters. I dropped the URL to the mailing list sign up, but other than that I think it's still got all the substance. Figuring out how to sign up to this list becomes another application task, I guess.
Of course, feel free to take this & work with it.
# Inkscape Application
Thanks for considering Inkscape for your summer of code! To help us find a good candidate, we ask a few things:
## About You
- What is your name, email, & irc nick?
- What plans do you have for the summer in addition to GSoC (classes,
thesis, job, vacation, etc.)?
- What programming projects have you completed?
- What are your favorite programming tools (editor, etc.)?
- Describe any work on other open-source projects.
- List other GSoC projects you're applying to.
## About Inkscape
- When did you hear about Inkscape?
- What do you create with Inkscape?
- What other open-source tools do you use?
- How have you participated in the Inkscape community (e.g. uploaded
drawings, created tutorials, submitted bug reports, asked or answered questions)?
- How have you contributed to Inkscape development (e.g. bug fixes,
translations, packaging, testing)?
- In exactly **2** sentences, why should we pick **YOU**?
## Tasks
- Submit a drawing you've made, showing how you use Inkscape.
- Introduce yourself on the inkscape-devel mailing list and post your
project ideas for feedback, *before* submitting your application
- [Checkout](http://inkscape.org/bzr.php) the Inkscape sourcecode through
Bazaar; review, compile & build it.
- Pick 2 [bugs](https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/) (or add new ones).
Create & upload patches for them; make sure we can connect these to your GSoC application.
- Prepare a detailed plan (with timetable) of the work you propose to do.
