Heya, one of my top priority projects at CC now is OLPC. I talked with the pres. of software and content, Walter Bender today and I intro'd myself and mentioned Inkscape, and he immediately said, "Oh cool, I use Inkscape all the time. Want to port it to Sugar?"
There are some (to put it gently) performance issues with Inkscape, so knowing OLPC has an underpowered CPU and little RAM, how are you planning to deal with the performance aspect? Provide only a subset of features and a streamlined interface to not expose the unsupported features?
I know OLPC will have available for offline use some content form Wikipedia, so if you make available Inkscape to it (and OLP already has Firefox which can display SVG and a version of Abiword which I don't know how well support SVG), maybe it would be useful at some point to also make available some selected content from the Open Clip Art Library.
