Dear Inkscape developers,
I was wondering, if anyone know what's has happened to the merge of Xara Xtreme and Inkscape?
This was speculated about early on, but never came about.
The Xara Xtreme website haven't been updated for over a year, but the GPL source is still available from their SVN.
The piece of most interest in sharing - the renderer - was never open sourced.
The opened portions are mainly the UI, which unfortunately was implemented using wxWindows rather than gtk, so is not directly transferrable.
That said, if anyone wished to do some mining in the source, perhaps there are useful ideas that could be borrowed?
