Hello,
about 1. the site
I think this is a good initiative to be noticed in the users list cause it's more likely that inkscape users can be designers and web programmers ;)
About the project itself, I would like to remark that you can count on me for all the work: - mockups, illustrations, buttons, navigation - hosting permanently or temporally (for development) - developing, theming, configuration for Drupal (I'm not a pro with drupal but can get help outside)
And to end up I want to expose one worry but I hope it doesn't become a flamewar :/ , here it goes:
I would like to be take into account the possibility to develop a new Inkscape site with Django. For this main reasons: - It can boost integration and development of functionalities Inkscape needs. - Using Django will drastically reduce maintainers work in security updates. - Performance - Design freedom
By no means I am against Drupal cms or Drupal community, It's just I worked for more than 4 years in Drupal based sites (and still do) and I'm personally tired of updates and strange pseudo-oo api and no html templates for full creativity. I feel somebody else can be tired like me, maybe I'm wrong. If moving from Drupal it's outside the scope of the project just don't give my worry a second thought. You can count on me anyway in making a nice site for Inkscape with whatever is choosen.
Cheers, Néstor

2. I wanted to update you on the status of the Test suite, Osuosl is currently in the process of setting up the ability to run test suites so that we can test the SVG building more efficiently. So stay tuned for more info on this in the near future.Right now it would be jolly well if you fixed the issue that doesn't let me update information on the website. I mailed support@...2494... about it few days ago. No reply so far.
Let me repeat it:
./publish_web.sh Updating local home copy... svn: OPTIONS of 'https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape_web/trunk': SSL handshake failed: SSL disabled due to library version mismatch (https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net) Updating webroot... svn: OPTIONS of 'https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape_web/trunk': SSL handshake failed: SSL disabled due to library version mismatch (https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net) Generate rss... done. Updating permissions... done.
Anyway back to problem 1. Here's how I think we can best solve this problem. We're going to break the website into different categories and duties.
1. UI (mockups) (*ARTIST*/PROGRAMMERS*) - Ability to make mockups of how you think the website should look. - After we pick yours we will request to see the top couple in HTML/CSS 2. Artwork for the website (*ARTIST*) - Ability to develop / sharpen logos as well as various buttons etc as needed 3. Drupal Modules (*PROGRAMMERS*) - Skills required - Knowledge of Mysql/PHP/JS and HTML - Knowledge or ability to learn how drupal works 4. Documentation (*WRITERS*) - Skills - Moderate knowledge and ability to update and port existing content over to the new site. 5. TranslationI'm sorry, but I don't understand any of this. What do you mean by breaking the site into that?
Also, if you uintend to work on the new website (which is most welcome) you really want to start from list of requitements, not design.
