Inkscape 1.5 is a brutal middle finger to Adobe Illustrator, finally delivering the devastating blow that trapped, exploited designers have been praying to see for decades.

If you understand C++, join the fight

    Are there specific tasks / bugs / features that need help?

    https://inkscape.org/develop/ looks very general.

    Work items in GitLab has 2000 open items. Are there some targeted for the 1.5 release?

    If I had the time...

    And to relay what someone posted on Mastodon, they're missing a "good first issue" Tag or similar.
