re-visiting old thread (make selection easiser)
by brynn
Hi Friends,
I had started a thread a little over a year ago now. The question was,
would it be possible for the mouse pointer (holding or dragging nothing, just by
itself) to snap to something like nodes. Because selecting a number of
individual nodes, in a situation where dragging a selection box wouldn't work, I
was thinking if the mouse pointer (Node tool) could snap to nodes, it would make
it much faster to select them individually.
https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35137850
So there was a long discussion, and some people actually came up with
some functionality using a key combination (I think Shift + something, iirc).
So when the mouse pointer was within some distance of a node, pressing the key
combination selected that node. But the whole thing kind of died when it turned
out the only available key was on the right side of the keyboard, which would be
awkward for me (probably most right-handers).
But I see in the draft for the release announcement, for 0.92.2, that
some more keys have been freed up for user-defined shortcuts, which were not
available before. So it got me thinking, and I wonder what those keys are, and
whether it would bring this idea back to life.
Thanks for comments :-)
All best,

Inkscape Vectors - The beginning of awesomeness, join in
by Ryan Gorley
Hello All,
In June we had an excellent meeting with a number of you who were
interested in helping spread the love about Inkscape (meeting notes
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/r.93b6af2384cc1de450dd70166ad5cd50>).
During that meeting the team decided upon a new name, the Inkscape
Vectors, and to have our next meetup on Mattermost, a free alternative
to Slack. If you missed the meeting, but are still interested, *come
join us on Mattermost*
<https://teams.freecreatives.org/login?redirect_to=%2Finkscape>*.***Our
next meeting time/date will be discussed there.
The group has a broad mission and is open to individuals of diverse
talents. So if you're a writer, marketer, designer, developer, artist,
student, researcher, or just passionate enough about Inkscape to do
/something/, we invite you to join now!

0.92.2 Release Meeting
by Bryce Harrington
== Release Meeting ==
Following the board meeting, 1pm Pacific time Friday, will be an
opportunity to review status ahead of the release this weekend. This
meeting will be held on #inkscape-devel. Everyone's welcome to attend,
but particularly people who have been testing or developing the release
candidate to gather feedback on any remaining issues. I'd also love to
see members of the new Vectors team to discuss announcement plans.
Agenda:
* QA status / issues
* Translation team status
* Vector team status
* Web team status
* Release team status
* Final Go/No-go on release
* Other business
There was also a question recently about policies for versions of
dependencies (i.e. what do we target for LTS). Time permitting we could
discuss this a bit as well.
Thanks,
Bryce
