Funded development, Convenience Links, Repo checkout, etc..
by Robinson Tryon 06 Oct '14

Hiya, I saw an article about your new funded development policy, and read over the Funded Development Model page. Is this the Proposed Projects list: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Projects ? It would be nice for http://inkscape.org/en/contribute/funded-devel/ to link the text "Proposed Projects list" to the appropriate page (whether that's on the wiki, the website, or etc..). Speaking of the wiki, it would be very convenient if the wiki login page (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin) linked the text "email the developer list" to the devel list section of the mailing list page, (e.g. http://inkscape.org/en/community/mailing-lists/#inkscape-devel). Regarding source code, I didn't find a repository url or checkout instructions on the "Inkscape's Repositories" page (http://inkscape.org/en/develop/inkscape-bzr/). For comparison, here's what Launchpad provides on the "Code: Inkscape" page: --- You can browse the source code for the development focus branch or get a copy of the branch using the command: bzr branch lp:inkscape --- Cheers, --R -- Robinson Tryon QA Engineer - The Document Foundation LibreOffice Community Outreach Herald qubit@...3158...

[tony@...3057...: minimum system requirements for Inkscape?]
by Bryce Harrington 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Could someone help itemize the OS variants / versions we run on currently? Bryce ----- Forwarded message from Tony Sebro <tony@...3057...> ----- Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2014 10:51:36 -0400 From: Tony Sebro <tony@...3057...> To: "inkscape@...3057..." <inkscape@...3057...> Subject: minimum system requirements for Inkscape? Hi, all. See below. Someone has contacted our <trademark@...3057...> account asking a few questions about Inkscape. I can certainly clarify the first question about user- or device-based licenses. But I couldn't find any minimum system requirements or recommended specifications on Inkscape's website. Does Inkscape maintain a set of minimum system requirements for each OS? Please advise. Thanks! -Tony -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 413.

Fw: how to submit tutorials for official documentation?
by Brynn 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi again, Also for item 4.2, under "Development (no coding needed)" > Mockup new dialogs. This is a good one, because I've seen questions about this in forums. No one seems to know where to submit such new dialog mockups. I might guess, the dev mailing list, but not sure. If you could tell me where/how, I'll include that :-) And in that same section, > Add Extensions. I can say that it has been frustrating trying to guide people (in forum topics) who want to learn how to write extensions. If anyone could write a tutorial for that, or at least a brief guide, I think it would be very helpful, and as well, perhaps result in more new extensions. (Same for filters, although that's another story.) As I mentioned earlier, related to updating the FAQ (in an older msg), I'll be making a list of needed documentation (afa the faq). So I'll include this in the list. No one really answered, when I asked to whom I should send such a list. I know you said Tav is the point guy for the manual. But for other documentation, who should I contact? Also Tav? Thanks again :-D brynn -------------------------------------------------- From: "Brynn" <brynn@...3133...> Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2014 11:08 PM To: "Inkscape-Devel" <Inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: [Inkscape-devel] how to submit tutorials for official documentation? > Hi Friends, > For item #4.2 of the FAQ ("Are there non-coding ways to help?") > under Help Fellow Users > Write Tutorials, I want to include info on how > to > submit tutorials for the official documentation.

another updating faq question (how to open CDR files)
by Brynn 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi Friends, Another FAQ item which doesn't seem to make sense, and that I'm not familiar with -- How to open CDR files. (Currently item 6.8 but will be moved in updated faq). Here's what it says now: ____________________ You can use UniConvertor for converting CDR files and some other formats to SVG. In Inkscape 0.46+, there's an input extension that will allow you to open or import CDR files directly from Inkscape if you have UniConvertor installed on your system. If you can't run UniConvertor, you can try this workaround: 1 - Open the CDR file in Corel Draw. Save it as a binary encoded CGM* file. It will save only vector graphics. It will not save bitmap graphics. 2 - Open the CGM file in OpenOffice Impress. Copy to Open Office Draw and insert original JPG or another bitmap graphics. Save file as ODG And you can continue in Open Office Draw program.) 3 - Select all (CTRL+A) 4 - Export as SVG. 5 - Open SVG file in Inkscape and correct mistakes if they appear. Note: OpenOffice will open only binary encoded CGM files in Impress. If the CGM is encoded using clear-text encoding, it will be opened in OpenOfice Writer, thus rendering the next steps invalid. ____________________ It's the workaround that's not making sense. #2 about inserting JPG -- I might guess that maybe CDR files can contain both raster and vector images?? But it's not clear at all. I mean, this workaround requires the user to have Corel Draw, Open Office Impress, and OO Draw, all installed. With all that, and they still need Inkscape? I'm not sure the workaround is even worth keeping -- especially not if it's out of date. And there's a close parenthesis which didn't have an open parenthesis. So I think something has been edited incompletely. However, if that's still a valid workaround, I'll keep it in place. Would someone please give me a quick verdict on that? If worth keeping, any edits needed? Thank you so very much :-) All best, brynn

New funded development and fundraising policy
by Bryce Harrington 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Earlier this year we developed a policy for fundraising and for funding development work on Inkscape. Thanks to everyone that helped on this! Now that the policy is fully official I've given it a spot on our website. http://inkscape.org/en/contribute/funded-devel (Martin and other web folks, feel free to move it around if there's a better spot for it...) The intent of this is to delegate power to community members to organize fundraisers and use the gained monies for paid development. This isn't the *only* way we can do fundraisers or paid development, but other things will require more direct board involvement. Hopefully this will give us a more streamlined approach that folks can take advantage of. Bryce

how to submit tutorials for official documentation?
by Brynn 28 Sep '14

28 Sep '14

Hi Friends, For item #4.2 of the FAQ ("Are there non-coding ways to help?") under Help Fellow Users > Write Tutorials, I want to include info on how to submit tutorials for the official documentation. Or at least provide a link to such info. (Also, I might want to contribute tutorials myself.) So far, all I've found is this page http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/User_manual_information, which I'm not sure is even a relevant doc anymore. It says to subscribe to the Inks Docs mailing list, but other links are dead (not found). Is there any other info, that I haven't found yet? Or is subscribing to the list, pretty much all that's needed (and then tutorial writers will find out how to submit them, from the mailing list)? Thanks for your help :-) brynn
