Perhaps superfluous but still: *we can use 2geom inside Inkscape already without problem!!!*

Now that we're including a large part of lib2geom for LPE anyway; what else can we use it for? I'm unsure of the status of
the whole library.
One feature that I hear alot about when talking to people is the inset/outset function in Inkscape being "less than perfect." I think this was on the TODO for lib2geom, is it done?
The pieces are there, although I think it'll take setting
up Inkscape
to use it to find any remaining gaps in functionality.
So I guess what we need is a lib2geom release so that we can get it packaged and linked to correctly? Then we can start to see where that breaks?
I don't think we want a release now, so we can quickly address issues that surface. I think it is best to keep 2geom inside Inkscape code for 0.46, and have a good and nice 2geom release for 0.47. This way we can profit from bleeding edge 2geom which atm is nicer than a release will be imho. I am fine by copying 2geom code to Inkscape for now :-)
(note that early on in LPE development i did have 2geom linked in as separate lib, 'release like'. It is not too much of a change)
On our wiki, we have started a help page where people can ask questions and put answers. Hopefully this will grow to a somewhat complete 2geom guide. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingWith2GeomFAQ
