    Hi,

    I proposed this thing around and got some interest. I would like to set up a funded development of an Apple Silicon M1's version of Inkscape. How to do that? I have seen the page on the site about funded development, but I didn't quite understood how it really works. What do I need to do?

    Good luck. Wonder where you will get any macOS dev/s from? Actually there´s non.

    Maybe I can use another forum to find a developer. The main problem is: how can I set up the whole thing? I probably can find a developer, and maybe gather some funds (a small amount of funds) to do the development, but how the whole thing would work? Do I need to contact the team behind inkscape? How?

    I've asked around in other forums and people will pay let's say 20-30$ each for funding this version. Let's say I find 10 people, I can set up a small amount of money to pay the development. But, again, I have no idea how much this will actually cost. 

    Inkscape website is not very clear about the management of a thing like this. Does someone have some infos?

    I'd suggest asking in the Developers Rocket Chat. Someone there might be able to give you some pointers.

    I've found some people that would join in the funding, there is a programmer interested?

    I guess the funding isn´t the problem but finding macOS M1 devs.
