Hey everyone!
Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ Attending: Willy, Mikekov, Charlotte, Martin, Tav
Tav hasn't done much but did work on some namespace cleanups. Martin and Tav taked briefly about namespaces and how code should be cleaned up, being verbose vs. moving code into the correct namespace.
Mikekov has been working on a text combo box widget. Has a look at the pages toolbar, the page size selector is quite advanced and uses cell renderers. In order to update it for Gtk4 it would require components which aren't supported in C++. The main target for this work is the font family. It increases the speed significantly though doesn't have the flexibility of customisation.
Charlotte, started a new semesta and new classes so hasn't had a lot of extra time. But has looked at a few bugs, some windows bugs including the drive letter bug. But isn't as intense at the moment.
Willy has been working on documentation to improve how people join gitlab and understand it better.
Martin has been working on code reviews, some issue testing and the new engine work which is slowly starting to get unpicked from it's knotty integration into every inkscape layer. It reminds me just how hard it is to keep API and code clean when we work with so many people over so long a history. But it's still going to be important for future development to work on that more.
A reminder to everyone to add their comments to the on going discussion about the AI policy: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-board/-/issues/5
Next meeting is the earlier time, on Wed 21st Jan.
Thanks everyone.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
