The historic baseline is the Sodipodi Hydra codebase. The process is an open, community-oriented development that focuses on a small core and extensibility. The software development of Inkscape adheres to open source standards, and is intended to provide the user community with a solid, usable product. The Download page lists released builds as well as some developmental and source code links.

Inkscape is free! By this, we mean it is free of cost, free to use and distribute, and open to peek into the source code. The Inkscape application is used across a wide variety of industries (marketing/branding, engineering/CAD, web graphics, cartooning) and individual uses. Vector design is often the preferred method of image creation for logos, illustrations and art which require high scalability. If you are new to the process of creating vector graphics it may feel different, but you will quickly be pleased by the flexibility, and power Inkscape offers. Inkscape can take you from this stage to a final, professional-grade design format which is ready for publication on the web or in physical form.

The design process may begin by doodles on a napkin, a sketched mindmap, a photo of a memorable object, or a mockup in software which really wouldn’t work to complete the project.
