I got in touch with the lib2geom people. I'm going to try to do a little work on a spatial index for them. Perhaps we can eventually use that in Inkscape to speed up rendering. The lib2geom people thought it might have some other applications as well.
I'd still like to learn about the status of Inkscape's plug-in/extension system.
Thanks,
Landon

I was bugging the lib2geom folks a few months back when I had to get pulled away on another project of mine. That project has finished and I thought I'd see about helping just a little bit with Inkscape development.
I have posted a message on the lib2geom Jabber conference room.
I also thought I would find out if Inkscape had a plug-in or extension system just yet. If it did I thought I might take a stab at making small improvements to the program. I'm not an experienced C++ developer and I'm a little scared about trying to build Inkscape.
Is there an extension or plug-in system in place? Or will I need to build Inkscape to test any changes I might make?
I took a look at the road map and found these items interesting:
Revisit coordinate system (move away from Cartesian) Tech Drawing Abilities DXF Import/Export
Thanks for the help. I hope I can make time to tinker with Inkscape or lib2geom and improve my C++ skills as I work.
