I volunteer as one of the project admins for an open source GIS/Mapping program. I was planning on creating a map drafting and printing extension for the program from scratch. However, someone wrote a plug-in for our program that allows us to export the data in SVG, and one of the users began producing cartographic quality maps in Inkscape!
Which open source project are you working on ? There are several GIS related projects including Grass, QGIS, Gdal, Postgis, etc - which SVG export plugin ? Inkscape is an excellent program to work with especially now with the new layer support and constantly improving bit trace raster conversion. Some ideas for inkscape plugins could include projection conversions, different coordinate displays, etc. Also maybe as part of Open Clip Art to have a group of SVG cartographic symbols.
