I personally welcome all suggestions and constructive criticism, but we may
have some reasons not to implement them. I don't understand what "looking out"
and "looking in" mean in this context, but I know that Inkscape has been
successfully used by many talented web designers to create some amazing stuff
(see https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/ for instance). If you can contribute in
any way, that will be even better (see
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/How_to_start_contributing_to_or_using_Open_Source_Software
).
Finally, see
http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/computers/netiquette/email/start-new-thread.html
for why you should not reply to an existing message in order to start a new
thread . As it stands, this message of yours is burried deep inside an
unrelated thread.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
