Yes. Or, if it's up to me I would just restore that phrasing to the main page. If you move it to the faq, I would be okay with that.
Bryce, please explain how I can turn this into a FAQ entry:
Additional planned work includes conversion of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm
I honestly don't understand.
The main concern I have is that there are some basic developer questions that I feel need to be answered somewhere that is really easy for people to find. The following are examples of questions that have come up:
- Does your product compile and run on Linux? (Win? OSX?)
- What widgetset does it depend on?
- How much code is there?
- Is it one single codebase or is it divided into multiple components?
- Is Inkscape C or C++. I vaguely recall reading something about it being C or only recently been moved to C++. If so how modular / OO clean is it?
- What rendering engine do you use. We have sort of assumed you'd be using Cairo anyway (but we are aware it has some limitations that you seem to have go around - can't remember specifically what, but I think it might have been related to transparency.)
