Social network upadates and feed rss inkscape.org
by Valessio S Brito 26 Oct '11

Hi all, I want to set updates from the official site for social networking. Does anyone know why the rss feed does not work on www.inkscape.org? Does anyone here know the password of Twitter? @inkscape I'm creating a fanpage on facebook[1] too. I know that we must prioritize free networks (Diaspora, identi.ca, noosfero and others); But unfortunately, there are many users on the basis of proprietary networks, can provide at least notificiações and updates. Since this part as an initial source of information; For a more complete content and participation, we encourage people to enter the alternative networks and free.

files on the wiki

Hi Guys, If there are files on the wiki which arent linked to by any pages, and dont appear to be inkscape related, do we delete them? example would be: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/File:100_0306.jpg which has no links on our wiki, and is a truck, so has no apparent link to inkscape. Cheers John

State of the Wiki
by John Cliff 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hi Guys, Been doing some spam cleanup on the wiki, and there doesnt seem to have been a legitimate edit since about the 6th Oct. We seem to be getting about 4 accounts a day being created so that they can post a page full of garbage for seo or whatever. Is there a particular reason that we dont have any form of account verification before we let people create stuff? Can we require moderation before we let people post/create, or just disable automatic registration, and put a human (or humans) in the loop? As it is the only people who seem to be adding stuff are spammers... Cheers John

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape-devel Digest, Vol 65, Issue 16

Quite a while ago, we submitted a request for the following: It would be nice to create hairline, single pixel line, or 0.001 to 0.004 inch thickness line while designing. The Windows GDI would consider this to be a vector line. It could be quite useful to use it in creating designs for processing by CNC as well as Laser machines for cutting. Was this ever implemented? If not, do you plan to implement it? Your feedback will be most useful. Thanks and regards.

Modevia & Nightlies
by Josh Andler 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Hey all, I got a response from JTC Inc regarding our use of the modevia server and was told that the server is no longer available for us to use. So, the bad news is that we need to find alternative hosting. However, the good news is that they didn't nuke our data apparently. They want to know what we need to be able to retrieve the data, so I left it with a response asking how much data we had on the server... once we know this we can make arrangements to recover the nightly stuff. Now is the fun part... does anyone know of any organizations that would be interested in hosting this stuff for us? I'm almost tempted to say the nightly builds might do well on sourceforge just for the sake of mirroring and having a rough idea of download stats. It's just a thought, no one is married to it. All reasonable suggestions are welcome. Cheers, Josh

how to get x y coordinate in mm ?
by perry-dev 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

Hi, I have one problem related to coordinates. i want to save d attributes in mm unit. for that with the help of google . i have changed default unit "mm" in Document Properties Option. After that i am going to draw 50x50 mm rectangle for that i need to change mm from px in "control tool bar " . now i got attributes like d="M 222.47117,285.53205 L 398.65476,285.53205 L 398.65476,461.71565 L 222.47117,461.71565 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 z" But when i changed mm to px then also got same attributes d="M 222.47117,285.53205 L 398.65476,285.53205 L 398.65476,461.71565 L 222.47117,461.71565 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 L 222.47117,285.53205 z" How to distinguish between mm and px . i am really stuck in this Let me know solution...!!! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-get-x-y-coordinate-in-mm---tp32704855p32704855… Sent from the Inkscape - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Regression : now unable to move primitives in Filters Editor

Now in rev. 10674 I can not move primitives by dragging them through the Filters Editor tree ! I think this is a relatively recent regression. ivan

I'm with Felipe on this one. Not only because I endorse free software but also for practical reasons. Supporting proprietary solutions just because of technical reasons might make it harder for FLOSS alternatives to mature if there's a handy proprietary driver/API in use. I wonder who would feel attracted to code optimizations and improvements if the application already works great with that proprietary addon. I also wonder how supporting proprietary (mantaining compatibility with free) impacts on the complexity of the code and if it doesn't add more work to the few developers the project has, even if somebody comes and provides the code. I'm convinced that some short term solutions like this could have a very negative impact sooner or later. nVidia has a good damage record with its proprietary drivers in linux: They work pretty good, so having a free alternative never felt as a real need, and there we are. Intel has better free drivers but inferior hardware, so if you're planning to do serious 3D you have to buy nVIdia or ATI and deal with their non-free drivers. Technically you have the option, but in practice it becomes a hard dependency. I don't think this is a political statement by itself, but coincidentally the political statement leads to the same conclusion. I'm glad to know that FLOSS is priority anyway. :-) Just my 2 cents.
