	* Is direct import/export of PS or PDF really necessary? Or is transparant import/export a reasonable target? The main problem with the current implementation is the need for the users to deal with filter dependancies. A complete bundle of the most important filters would solve this. Filters have the advantages of allowing Inkscape to concentrate on what it does best, SVG, and allowing sophisticated users to insert specialized filters into existing pipelines.		* Is direct import/export of PS or PDF really necessary?

			== Resolution ==

			This poll has not elicited sufficient interest / participation to move forward. We required 20 people list themselves in the poll, but as of Apr 30, 2006 only found 17 people.

			$300 was pledged, but that is insufficient to match the bids.

			There was no strong concensus achieved as to what issues should be addressed.

			Few people worked on developing the plan, and thus most of the votes opposed it.

			Thus, for all of these reasons, while this concensus poll was an interesting idea, it doesn't appear to have worked.
