Hi everyone! We would like to include a couple quotes from Inkscape contributors - new and old - into the 1.0 release article and need urgent help for that. Please make some time this weekend and head over to https://framaforms.org/inkscape-contributor-interview-1587833730 to tell us a bit about yourself, your motivation to contribute to Inkscape and your contributions! When you have filled in the form, you can give us a heads up in https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors so we can more quickly process it and get back to you if we have any questions. Thank you!

Inkscape 1.0-rc1 (Release Candidate) and Inkscape 0.92.5 released
by Marc Jeanmougin 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

================ Inkscape 1.0-rc1 ================ We are about to release the long-awaited Inkscape 1.0 version which has a ton of new features and most notably runs on GTK 3 to provide decent support for macOS and HiDPI screens. We consider the state of this branch to be stable enough to warrant large user testing to prepare for the launch. A big thanks to all our developers, testers, translators, bug triagers, and vectors who are making this release possible! >> Download on https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0rc1/ << AppImage and snap are available for Linux users as well as a ppa coming soon, Installers (.exe, .msi) and portable app (.7z) are available for Windows and a .dmg is available for macOS.

Hi, is there any ongoing projects with goal of making inkscape also as modular UX/UI design tool ?
by cosmobird 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

in my search for foss design tool for UX/UI, Flow design and organization, so far only very few are available, out of that only few seems to be working (with some hardwork). but most of them are proprietary solutions or else oriented towards it. afaik, inkscape has better design features than any other design tool out there ... however it lacks a few features to make it as a design tool for any front end designer. those are : 1. svg to code conversion 2. library management for projects 3. parametric design convention 4. standard templates 5. animation if those are made available through python, then it will become invincible, and i dont know about akira so far, tried but failed to build several times in this year. like this : 1. select a target device, 2. choose a template dimension, 3. make flow for ux (from synthesized user flow in ux design with api), 4. collect/make icons, fonts, color palettes, 5. get standard components for the chosen device, 6. integrate together activity by activity in each discrete flow part of the 3 step. 7. convert every single ui from step 6 to css or android xml so that the layers, objects can be reused in Qt, Android, React. This would definitely give free software projects an upper hand among the developer community like Fdroid, and other web based projects. However some very few projects are avaible in FOSS with such ideas, are no where near to inkscapes design versality. regards cosmobird.

Per wiki page - request wiki login
by David C. Rankin 07 Apr '20

Inkscape devs, I was looking though the 1.0 Beta Release Notes, and came across screenshots showing the new Gtk+3 interface. I wanted to drop a note in the talk (discussion) section related to the need to control icon size as the current Gtk+3 icons take up roughly 200% of the equivalent Gtk+2 icons. Specifically looking at: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:Origin_in_upper_left_pa… This has been a huge problem for all applications that have attempted the Gtk+2 to Gtk+3 switch. As a result of the toolkit change, many of the icon bars that neatly fit in the space available on a laptop, now spill over into elipseized button menus and the actual drawing screen real-estate is reduced dramatically. Gimp has managed a reasonable balance where many other major apps and editors have failed. I would like to follow and contribute to the discussion on the upcoming 1.0 beta release on the wiki and would therefore request a wiki account (I'm a real breathing human and not a spam bot or spammer) Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Mentorship
by Marc Jeanmougin 31 Mar '20

31 Mar '20

Hi devs ! In these weird times, I hope you're all well and healthy, as well as your families, Inkscape is a community before anything else so the well-being of everyone is a priority. This year we have seen a great increase in the number of applicants to the summer of code, and to make the most of it, we need mentors :) Mentoring a student takes time, and there is a strong incentive to have co-mentoring or backup mentors to ensure students have people they can go to if they have questions and to make the life of mentors easier :) . So if you know the inner workings of the code and/or are or used to be a regular contributor, and if you are willing to try to (co-)mentor a student this year, please step up and contact me :) Mentor guide : https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/ > *Mentor*: Mentors are people from the community who volunteer to work with a student. Mentors provide guidance such as pointers to useful documentation, code reviews, etc. In addition to providing students with feedback and pointers, a mentor acts as an ambassador to help student contributors integrate into their project’s community. Some organizations choose to assign more than one mentor to each of their students. Many members of the community provide guidance to their project’s GSoC students without mentoring in an “official” capacity, much as they would answer anyone’s questions on the project’s mailing list or IRC channel. (alex and tweenk, there are people applying in your areas of expertise (gtk and boolops), so if you feel you'll have enough time and if you want … ;) ) -- Mc
