We have developed a feature which allows Scheme Scripting from a console inside of Inkscape.
We chose to implement a Scheme interpreter inside Inkscape because we felt higher-order programming and other functional paradigm ideas of Scheme would apply very nicely to a vector-based program such as Inkscape.
The tar file included at the directory below contains a README with directions to aid in the process of installing the patch contained in the tar file. The README also has instructions on running the console.

Please let us know what you think of it.
This patch was tested with revision 15458. If there is a better place to submit this patch since it is pretty large, let us know.
Thanks, David D'Angelo and Soren Berg glimmer07@...400...
