Interview with Inkscape Founder Bryce Harrington (KDE.News)

[Posted November 8, 2004 by cook]

KDE.News has an interview with Bryce Harrington, author of the Inkscape vector drawing program. "When we formed Inkscape it was important to us to communicate where the project intends to go, and what steps are needed to get there. There were several reasons for this. First, having an established plan makes it easy to figure out where to "fit" your work in. When working on projects where the overall vision is not communicated, you find your patches getting rejected for unpredictable reasons. By specifying a clear vision, it helps new developers in figuring out how to make their contributions tie into the project's goals."
