Dear all:
Harald Armin Massa was so kind as to invite me to give a talk at EuroPython 2010 on JessyInk. The talk will focus in particular on the Inkscape extensions I wrote for JessyInk.
As such, I thought it might be a very good opportunity to promote Inkscape, provide people with an introduction to writing Python extensions for Inkscape and to present new features or plans that concern Inkscape's extension facility.
Therefore, I would like to ask for your input:
*) What are the most essential points that have to mentioned when it comes to Inkscape extensions written in Python ("inkex" and install dirs come to mind)?
*) Are there any (Python) extensions that demonstrate interesting / unusual / particularly helpful patterns that would be helpful for someone looking to develop new extensions?
*) Is there any page / tutorial / other place (irc?, this mailing list?) that you would like to have mentioned where developers can get help when they have an extension related problem?
*) Are there any new features or exciting plans for the future of the extension facility that I should tell people about?
If you can think of anything else, feel free to let me know.
Cheers, Hannes
