moderators needed for the website
by brynn 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi Friends, Thanks to Martin for creating the most amazing moderation system I've ever seen, for the website. Now that it's ready, volunteers are invited to join the website Moderation Team. Moderators work together to make decisions about each reported item (image, comment or member). No particular skills are needed. The biggest qualification is to care about maintaining the website as a beautiful and safe place for members to show their Inkscape work and interact. Most days you would only need to spend 15 to 20 minutes or less, although in the beginning, a little more time will probably be needed to become familiar with the system. And visit as many days as you can. The more moderators we have, the less time we each have to spend moderating. If you're interested in helping, please go to Community tab > Teams page (https://inkscape.org/en/teams/) and click on "Moderation Team". On the next page, click to request to join the team. (Sorry, I don't know exactly what the text is, for that link, but it will be regular size text, and orange color). After that, we'll contact you, and get you started. Thanks for your interest in contributing to the Inkscape Project :-) All best, brynn

website moderation policy final
by brynn 12 May '17

12 May '17

Hi Friends, It seems like this last message about moderation policy got buried in all the recent important chatter. So I'm re-sending the most vital parts of it, so we can finish this up. For convenience, https://inkscape.org/community/coc/ And here's the suggested change: In the Guidelines for User-Submitted Content section, replace "Art and other content submitted to the Inkscape website should adhere to the following rules:" with "Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape (e.g. created with Inkscape, created for use with Inkscape, showing how to work with Inkscape, etc.). We reserve the right to remove any content that does not seem appropriate or does not adhere to the following obligatory rules:" C R said > Little thing, but "created for use with Inkscape" could cover things like just regular images... in fact it could cover just about anything, even things made with Adobe Illustrator. I'd simply cut that bit out. Hhmm.....yes, I see what you mean. My interpretation of that, is for things like extensions or filters. But maybe there's a better way to say it? What about "created to be installed in Inkscape"? Or maybe just "to be installed in Inkscape"? That would eliminate any kind of image. Any other suggestions out there? Eduard? I wonder about adding "Inkscape Project"? Such as: "Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape or the Inkscape Project (e.g. created...." That would cover things like a website graphics or page mockup, board meeting transcript, etc. C R said > If there's a significant amount of undesirable content currently, it's probably best to make it retroactive. If it's just a few things, then we should approach the owners about it. Not to be pushy, but to inform them of the new policy. To me, it's a significant amount. By my estimate, probably 1 or 2 thumbnails per page of the gallery are random photos! So that's way too many to consider trying to contact them. Personally, I would love to delete them without notice. But since the policy was not available at the time they uploaded, technically I think it's not fair to delete them. But they'll soon be shuffled further and further back, as the gallery grows. I'm happy just to get the policy settled and put it into effect. Thanks everyone for taking the time, and helping to finalize this issue. As far as I know, this will be the last step before we can start recruiting moderators, and using the system officially. All best, brynn

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Any chance we can make some docs material? (targeting the moon)
by Maren Hachmann 12 May '17

Would it make sense to use gitlab's new subgroups feature for this? The inkscape-docs team could be a sub-team of Inkscape, that way. There are only 4 members as of now, so changing wouldn't be so difficult as it might be later on.

Let's encrypt: is this possible?
by Victor Westmann 10 May '17

10 May '17

Hi guys, I know that there is this amazing initiative out there called "Lets Encrypt" to enable a lot of sites to become HTTPS. Quoted from their own website: "*To enable HTTPS on your website, you need to get a certificate (a type of file) from a Certificate Authority (CA). Let’s Encrypt is a CA. In order to get a certificate for your website’s domain from Let’s Encrypt, you have to demonstrate control over the domain. With Let’s Encrypt, you do this using software that uses the ACME protocol <https://ietf-wg-acme.github.io/acme/>, which typically runs on your web host.*" If I got things right, they offer a free valid certificate. I know it must probably be expensive for us to enable thsi on our side (even though would give us even more credibility as an official website for the project). So... I was just wondering if this is doable from our perspective? Do we have an option to enable this on our side? Is it simple (it never is), is it expensive? https://letsencrypt.org/ Just wondering. --Victor Westmann

Yes is gradient mesh, also works with all kind of gradients, fills, strokes, filters... you can apply individual things to each pieze and also allow live editing of nodes. Thanks for the feedbak!
