Greetings fellow Inkscapers,
This announcement is a couple of days late due to problems establishing our new project web site.... but as the say, better late than never.
Much hard work has gone into developing Inkscape, the world's best free vector drawing program. But times are a-changing. The world is being Googled. Applications must be web based. We, who firmly believe in the open SVG standard, must move on too. Thus it gives us great pleasure to announce that our future efforts will be towards creating InkscapeSVG, a web based vector drawing program written in... ta-daa... SVG itself!
Already a prototype exists including several basic shape tools and a swatches pallete. You can check out development at:
Make sure you check out the nifty text tool too!
My initial reactions.
1) Wow, cool! 2) Goodluck. There is some pretty hefty math going on in places. Not the kind of things you want to do in javascript, but perhaps ajax calls to a backend could help. 3) Hmmm. I'm going to guess some people in the community would appreciate an effort to better distinguish this project from Inkscape. Using Inkscape as a name for a completely different, yet related, project can only confuse people.
