Whoa...cool...Seoul National is great and so is Naver! But are you good at kart.nexon.com ? I have done work for a Korean company http://www.gopetslive.com and have lectured around Seoul (in addition to working on a book about Korean youth culture and technology). I have been trying to get some Open Source developers from Korea (and part of kldp.org) to help on Inkscape, so I encourage your participation much!
Cool, I'm good friends with Shawn (SoonsonKwon), head of KLDP.org. Great!
Nice to meet you~ :-)
I plan to make many presentation format (PDF, swf, SVG, XSL-FO, CSS for print, ...) creation/convert tool/library. There are many good opensource tools/libraries. But I'm concerned about i18n (especially CJK) and (from the latest spec) new feature support. Then I'll evaluate them each, and choose one or start from scratch.
Cool, I think you should get more specific in your proposal to adding specific types for conversion (import/export). Also, your interest in il8n is of importance in implementing these converters.
I learned Google's offer from the new, and found that Inkscape's vector format import/export project and my goal overlap. Please let me know what I can do for Inkscape, within summer or without just summer limit.
Sounds good...please post your comments on our wiki that Bryce mentioned in a previous email. Hop onto our chat channel as well #inkscape on irc.freenode.net to discuss this topic in more detail.
I browsed inkscape's feature requests, then found many wanted formats.
- PDF!
- TeX (I don't figure out this request exactly. literal postscript with \special command, METAFONT, or ...?)
As in LaTeX: http://www.latex-project.org/ This would be very useful.
- DXF (AutoCAD, there are a few opensource utilities)
- CorelDraw (I can't find this file format spec on internet.)
Yeah, I don't know how important this is...but many people I guess still use it. Seems that CorelDraw can open EPS, so we kinda support it in a roundabout way.
- EMF & (lesser powerful) WMF (Windows platform, there are a few opensource utilities)
Yeah, supporting these is a must...
- SWF (Flash, there are tons of opensource utilities)
Import and Export of Flash would be great. There is a patch in the patchtracker for some level of Flash support. I don't know why it is not applied.
- OpenOffice
Yeah, I think that supporting the new Oo.o OpenDocument format is a pretty high priority.
- gimp
Exporting to XCF? I'm not fully sure what this would entail. Gimp can import/export SVG...soooo....
- ... more supports to existing formats
I think our support for Adobe Illustrator formats previous to their use of PDF 1.4 as their standard format is a real high priority. Also, some support needs to be checked out in the current importers/exporters. Some of them are pipes to small little commandline programs.
I think making some form of chart to understand our strengths and weaknesses on import/export on the wiki might be in order ;)
I exclude PDF due to planned Cairoification (PDF support is a free lunch?). Then I choose DXF (w/o 3D), EMF(WMF), basic SWF (first frame only) import/export during summer. I assume that these format supports are not strongly-coupled with main inkscape project, then project schedule suffers a little damage even if things turn bad.
Any development would be appreciated...
I want to support full animated SWF along with inkscape's animation support (milestone 17, 20).
That would be excellent!
Any comments or suggests?
Yeah, I think this sounds like a good list.
