By the way, when I talk about "Inkscape / GIMP raster graphics Editing Integration from GSoC 07" I mean a scenario like this one :
- right click on a graphic
- select "Edit in external editor"
- Gimp opens automatically itself on the graphic file
- Press the save button in Gimp
- Back to inkscape : the graphic is refreshed
The command line for opening a file could be customizable in user preferences (People might like to open Photoshop instead for example) This project seams to be feasible too.
I think probably the trickiest part of this is to set up a listener so that Inkscape knows when the file changes. So you'd need to set something up with GNOME-VFS and tie that all in. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but that's definitely a tricky part.
In general, I want to say that I think as I project we'd be happy to find a mentor and define a project that you could build onto Inkscape with. Don't consider the Wiki all the possible options, we also have a lot of enhancement requests in the bug tracker that users would definitely like.
