All of the tutorials can be found at: http://scislac.com/inkscape/ Still haven't got my cvsNT issue resolved, so I can't commit yet. Bulia, sorry for not getting them to you last night.
For .41 I will convert all tutorials to flowtext, and if it's possible to use svgz files, I will save them like that as well (reduction on file
I would expect the package formats to include compression, are you sure using svgz is a good idea, does it make that much difference? In the belief that 'anything that can go wrong will' i tend to keep small individual files uncompressed so I can always edit them with any crappy text editor (no messing with zcat or aything clever like that) and only ever compress groups of files or backup and what not.
The point "what difference" does it make applies to both compressing and not compressing, I just want to note that I'd prefer if you didn't but it is an almost inconsequential detail.
size seems appealing, but flowtext alone will probably cut size way down too, so we'll see).
Would it be practical to try and seperate out the style information for the various SVGs into one external stylesheet or is that too awkward at present?
I also intent to try and see about writing raw XML files (for source) and doing conversions from them to SVG or other formats, as experimenting in the name of flexibility can't hurt.
When you say raw XML do you mean like Docbook or something else specific? Docbook is the XML format that most projects use for their documentation and there are already ways to generate many other formats from docbook.
Feel free to shoot me any comments or thoughts.
My suggestions should not be taken as shooting at anything, just adding ideas to the stew. :)
