Re: Inkscape 0.92.4 bugfix release

I've tried to get replies from Valerio, but haven't had any success so far.

I'm only going to link to builds (making them look official) where the
person making them is in contact with the project.

If you'd like to support the Mac development efforts, maybe you could
help by calling up a meeting in the Mac development chat channel? You
don't need to be a programmer to do that.

https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/mac-dev

Forrest said he'd have a closer look at what needs to be done this
week-end, so organizing a meeting where at least 3 or 4 persons who are
interested in moving this effort forward can attend, would probably be a
good idea for this coming or the following week.

You can read up on discussions so far in the channel.

The meeting could be used to distribute tasks among those interested.

I've been thinking of pushing for that myself, but wouldn't mind if
someone else did :)

It's usually best to already suggest a time and ask if @all can attend,
not to ask when they would have time, these requests usually get little
attention.

There will be a board meeting and a vectors team meeting on February 1st
and February 2nd, respectively. Those days are maybe not great, because
people are already doing meetings.

Would you be interested to help with that, Dwain?
