more gradients
by Alexandre Prokoudine 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hi, Here is an interesting patch in the tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346681 "This is a .diff file containing code that allows Inkscape to generate spiral gradients, as well as conical or angular gradients as a degenerate case. It allows the user to create and edit these gradients with the gradient context (tool) and the Fill and Stroke dialog in the same manner as a Radial gradient. It also includes an (ugly) icon for use in the Fill and Stroke dialog and Gradient toolbar." How come no has one commented for 5 days now? :) Alexandre

how to edit blueprint in launchpad?
by the Adib 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

I tried to set the webpage for this launchpad blueprint "multiple-pages-support" https://blueprints.launchpad.net/inkscape/+spec/mutiple-pages-support to the page in the wiki that I recently created: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Multipage It looks that I have no rights to do that.? I am member of the "inkscape bug team". Do I need an other membership? Who can help? theAdib.

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape 0.47 - was Re: GSoC 2009 - Project handling in the repository
by Guillermo Espertino 04 Apr '09

There's a pretty large amount of 0.46 bugs being reported again and again in launchpad, and most of them are fixed in SVN. I guess that stabilizing the SVN and fixing important bugs and regressions to release Inkscape 0.47 as soon as possible would have a significant impact (positive) in the reduction of duplicated bugs. I personally don't care if some filters, lpes or features don't make it. I'd prefer a stable 0.47 with the bugfixes and the enhancements that may be considered "stable". Even with its regressions and some high importance bugs, the SVN version is pretty stable and it has loads of improvements (snapping, pdf output, eraser, spiro, etc.) that would make 0.47 attractive enough, from the user pov. And that would help to close lots of fixed bugs for good. So +1 for the idea of starting the freezing and regressions hunt. Gez

GSoC 2009 - Project handling in the repository
by Joshua A. Andler 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hey All, Due to concerns and issues voiced in the past, it seems like we should talk about how GSoC projects should be handled in our repository. A big concern is the impact on Trunk and if we want to release 0.47 with minimal pain this year. Given that I'm the hold-over release warden for 0.47, and that I have also taken on future release related duties from bryce... I'd like to see things work as smoothly as possible. What are some thoughts on what to do? Should we stick to the way we did it in the past and potentially introduce much more breakage in the near future? Branches on an as-needed basis? Perhaps just a GSoC2009 branch for all students work to be committed to? I could see the latter being beneficial to ease testing all their work with no harm to trunk the process. Additionally, it's a great way to learn about our "don't break trunk" rule... the students will be forced to commit responsibly as breaking it would hinder all other students too (which I would hope they'd be vocal yet diplomatic in handling). Any and all thoughts are welcome. Cheers, Josh

No. I was thinking more of OS-9 (note that it is not OS/9) :-)

Inkscape DVCS - was: Re: GSoC 2009 - Project handling in the repository

The GSoC 2009 might present a good opportunity for inkscape to move to a DVCS. Students, mentors and testers would benefit from enhanced branch, merge and branch tracking capabilities at github, launchpad, bitbucket, et al. Jeff

GSoC, KML-SVG
by Piotr Kopczyński 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Now to the matter. I haven't got a clear idea what to do, I'm not even sure about the guidelines for this task nor have a complete feeling of the goal. On the other hand I have some chances to make a piece of valuable work here. The task was described as "likely XSLT". Fortunately I have the basic understanding of XML and XSLT (I've recently accomplished a subject at my university devoted to XML and XSLT, so I'm quite fresh with it). In addition, I got to like it and feel a need to deal more with such translations. The fact is, I don't know the "XML Schemas" and practical aspects of SVG and KML. I will need some time to get through their documentations. Anyway, both specifications are worth knowing, so I will gladly learn them. I guess the job may be considered as import and export respectively. Importing (KML to SVG) shall be relatively simple and with a small risk of an "out-of-time" defeat. The other direction (export) seems more hard and needing deeper considerations. Of course, the importing part might also need some "parameters" (options in import wizard?). As I am freaky/scarry of not meeting the deadline, I like to find a safe-feeling solution first. An example of such is making a little website for converting KML to SVG using for example Firefox built-in XSL processor (I've used this solution in my last XSLT project, although it didn't involve any SVG rendering). I have then made a silly and tiny web framework (using PHP + .htaccess + mod_rewrite) for passing parameters to the XSLT file (parameters are dynamically inserted into original file as lines with an xsl:param definition each). Thus I could make a small portal driven only by XSLT :-) As this solution is quite comfortable and "recent" for me, I believe "I can make it", and in the meantime we can optionally consider if I will be able to deal with Inkscape internals (that is what I don't know at all, so this may be more risky). That's it for a minimum. I'm waiting for your opinion and expectations. If you agree for solving this task via XSLT, I'm likely to success with it. Piotrekk

GSoC mentoring
by Josh Andler 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Our requested number of slots for GSoC is currently greater than the number of mentors we have. If I don't see a change in this equation soon, I need to change our request to a lower number. SO... If we have anyone interested in mentoring students this year who is not signed up, please do so asap. If we have anyone that is currently signed up who is willing or able to mentor more than one student, please speak up. Cheers, Josh P.S. Existing mentors, please start reviewing student proposals if you haven't already done so.

Johan's GSoC App
by Josh Andler 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

I have marked him as ineligible per his desire to not participate this year. This was done to take his proposal out of the ranking queue, so it is more accurate for the students that wish to participate. Johan, we're sorry it wasn't able to work out this year with your schedule, but we all go through busy spells and know it wasn't an easy choice to make on your end. Cheers, Josh
