In http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Inkscape_SVG_vs._plain_SVG there is a link [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7412326&forum_id=375… ref] which appears to be included to point to background for the Wiki article. Since SourceForge no longer seems to use that form of reference to the archive (for instance, forum_name is now used instead of forum_id), that link is broken. Searching the archive for "Inkscape SVG" doesn't seem to point to any useful background discussion. Can anyone recall any key words that may have been included in the thread title so we can relink the Wiki article to the discussion? Or shall I remove the Wiki link?

report: Mac OS X aqua in productive use
by Wolf Drechsel 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hi everybody, I've used inkscape 0.47 AQUA PPC, devel-r9101, OS 10.4.11 now for several days in my daily work as a public transport consultant. There are two standard crashs (reported here: https:// bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/527571 and here: https:// bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/528632) which occasionally occur. In general, there is some trouble using the aqua variant - but with some care and adventuresomeness it can be used for productive work. Here is my very personal wishlist for next steps: * Fix bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/527571 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/528632 - these are the most important ones. * do some ige-mac-integration work in order to make the inkscape-bin icon dissappear from the programme switcher and remap ctrl to cmd key After that I'd regard it as ready for an alpha release. I want to say thank you to everybody who has made it possible - I really do admire the tough and steady work. Yours, Wolf

Needing a set of web buttons, I created three filters for 3-state buttons. I'd be happy to contribute these. If this is desirable, how would I go about contributing them to the source? JF

inkscape aqua PPC alpha for testing
by Wolf Drechsel 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hello friends, thanks to many hints, especially by ~suv, a new ready-for-testing inkscape aqua can be downloaded here: http://verkehrsplanung.com/Inkscape_aqua_PPC_047.zip It should launch alone without any macports environment, may immediately kill the X11 after its launch - and makes a quite useable impression. It was made on a PPC, 10.4.11. Unluckily I cannot switch to the universal variants at the moment, so I'd be grateful if some intel owner would check whether it runs on rosetta. I manually removed i386 python components, this may cause intel machines to get in trouble. Also, I couldnt check whether it works on Leopard or Snowie… If somebody has some spare time, maybe he wants to have a look at it. The recipe can be found here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ CompilingMacOsX#Building_Aqua_February_2010 Yours, Wolf

Hi all, I am a french student in «Master 1» of computer sciences (equivalent to a Bac+4). I use Inkscape every days during my studies and hobbies. That's why, I am interested by the development of Inkscape. I have some skills in C/C++ and Doxygen but I never have contributed to an open source project. During my studies, I have done some programs, like an « image manipulation » program in C++ with QT, and some programs with GTK+. Also, I know how to report bugs, i already reported some bugs in Launchpad. Currently, I have done a checkout of inkscape with Bazaar. And I maked the project, he is correctly running. So now, I am asking you what can I do in order to help the project. If you want to ask me questions, we can go on IRC or something else. Also, you can show me the documentation that i have to read :-) See you ;-) Albin Manoël
