Hi All,
I haven't gotten a single flame for my posting, but I've gotten curiosity about what we are doing with Inkscape, so I thought I'd say a little more.
We have proprietary C++ code for doing variable data printing. We aren't really interested in being variable data design experts and are moving in a direction that bears tangentially on our VDP code. We would like to put our VDP code into this community of programmers who might find it interesting and add to it. This may help Inkscape and us too. Make sense? Let me know if you think we are off base.
Does Inkscape have a business logic subsystem that can drive graphic design and text and image replacement based on user defined business rules?
The reason we're interested in paying someone to work with us is simply to get the job done efficiently. We could paw around in the Inkscape code for weeks learning what it does and doesn't have, or we could work with someone who already knows. Just to show you how clueless I am, I've spent quite a bit of time getting the code to compile in Ubuntu, RedHat, and now I'm working on a WinXP. I'm still not able to get the darn thing to build in Eclipse CDT. I used to like Eclipse when I was working in Java, but now I can't decide if I'm the obtuse behemoth or it is.
BTW Inkscapers, nice work. The more I see, the more I like.

First, I apologize in advance if this is the wrong forum for this kind of question.
I've been getting up to speed on Inkscape and Scribus. I'd like to get up to speed much faster and would be happy to pay someone to help me do that. If you are interested please email me at myinger@...1835...
