Inkscape began in 2003 led by a team of four former Sodipodi developers. With Inkscape, they said they would focus development on implementing the complete SVG standard. Since the start  Inkscape's developers changed it greatly: They rewrote it from C into C++; adopted the GTK+ toolkit C++ bindings (gtkmm); redesigned its user interface, and added a number of new features. Notably, its implementation of the SVG standard, although incomplete, has shown gradual improvement. Rather than top-down governance, its developers strive to encourage where individual developers derive their authority from their ability and active involvement in the project. Indeed, these values allow Inkscape's founders to remain well represented in the decision making project without deterring newcomers, who, in turn, have come to play prominent roles.
