History
Late in 2003, Bryce Harrington, MenTaLguY, Nathan Hurst, and Ted Gould, four developers of the Sodipodi project, began Inkscape a Sodipodi project fork, with the purpose of developing a cooperative, user-friendly vector app for SVG in C++.[2] The name is made up of the common English words "ink" and "scape".[3]
