I've started sketching out a PR piece about Inkscape 0.40, with the intent of writing up something lengthy that both discusses the new capabilities of the project and encourages people to chip in help at improving things.

I've identified a few areas that definitely need more fleshing out; help on those areas would be quite valuable. Also, example images are needed to show off the capabilities; I'm sure I could rough something together but am betting that folks who actually have artistic talent could do a much better job than I. :-) So help would be much appreciated there as well.
I haven't thought about where to publish it; Footsteps perhaps.
This is also a rough "off the cuff" writing, so needs some editing and wordsmithing, as it's probably too wordy at this point. I haven't even spell checked it, so there's probably seplling and that grammer problem too.
