Hello everyone,
As I mentioned earlier, I updated Inkscape description at Apple downloads. Would a rework of this text be acceptable or has it already been reworked many times and this is considered final? How do you want Inkscape to be perceived: as a UI on top of SVG or as a vector editor that happens to use SVG as its format?
I've updated the text using your description
I was wondering which description you were talking about and saw that Apple already updated their page with a cut-out version of the description text I wrote yesterday (and also updated the "company name" to Inkscape Community!). Wow, that was quick. Thank for using it, it means it was not so bad ;) (although there is a typing mistake. second paragraph: "trace bitmap s" should read "trace bitmaps").
I guess the text will be reworked for 0.46 depending on which new features are in anyway but if some don't like it, there is a way to compare it with its previous incarnation. Here is what Google cache has:
"Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Supported SVG features include shapes, paths, text, markers, clones, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, patterns, and grouping. Inkscape also supports Creative Commons meta-data, node editing, layers, complex path operations, bitmap tracing, text-on-path, flowed text, direct XML editing, and more. It imports formats such as JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and others and exports PNG as well as multiple vector-based formats.
Inkscape's main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development"
and here is the new one:
"About Inkscape An Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.
Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmap s and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community- oriented development."
Is it OK for everyone?
