If we never achieve full 1.1 support I think I'll shoot myself. Seriously, if we are limiting ourselves to the SVG standard, yet no one is pushing to achieve it, what is the point of that limitation?
Perhaps we should make it mandatory that at least 1 of our SoC spots each year goes toward implementing some piece needed to be more compliant. It's not fun, it's not exciting, it's not really glamorous either, but it will push that major project goal forward.
It can be fun. I've had fun making a couple of testsuite compliance tests pass. There's quite a number of tests that fail; I found it quite rewarding when I could turn one fail into a pass. http://home.hccnet.nl/th.v.d.gronde/inkscape/ResultViewer.html One of the cool things is that it doesn't require UI-coding which is tedious at best. No use cases, no discussions on what shortcuts you need, and no bugs from users that click different than you do. Simply very well defined small/large projects :-)
I would really like to have this testresult website updated every day. Just to bring it up on the list again: I think we reeeeaaalllly should get this website updated regularly. I cannot offer hardware, hope someone else can.
Ciao, Johan
