Hey, I just subscribed to this list.
I've written an effect for Inkscape in Python, and if you like it, it'd be nice to see it included in the official Inkscape. I've explained what it's supposed to do, with screenshots, here:
http://www.ping.uio.no/~ovehk/inkscape/stack.html
Comments welcome. Perhaps I should call it something else (I just called it "stack" because it kind of stacks the stroke on top and the fill on the bottom), and perhaps there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do.
(Also, it'd be nice if there was a better tool for brushing out blobs than that calligraphy+union trick I used there...)
