Sorry I don't read/follow the list daily so I didn't see the GSOC proposal were over.

I just wanted to point that among all proposals, the "New from template" add little value.

This is my opinion, you could disagree ;)

As the original poster asked for other ideas I propose the blueprint about filter editing. If it's far from perfect, it would be a major step in filter edition. I think this tool is underestimated and so underexploited. (even if there are some flaws in the SVG spec,) the main problem of using filter in inkscape is the outdated UI.

Victor,

Your mail puzzles me too :) Submission period for GSoC is over. Now
that it's time to vote on proposals made by students, what is it that
you expect us to do, exactly? :)
