Background:

Inkscape has set up a funded development process[1], and following that process has pre-approved[2] three projects from a list of suggestions. In the recent budget vote[3], we’ve budgeted $750 to spend in 2015 on funded work. This vote is to formally allocate $250 to each project’s funds.

I envision we’ll need to do some fundraising on top of this to make the jobs more attractive, but this will give us a starting point.
