Hi everyone, I've been lurking on this list and making extensions for Inkscape in python. (I'm also keen on the dbus scripting but I use windows so no good for me right now...)
I have had difficulty understanding what some of the extensions do and in writing my own I have discovered the notebook tab. I want to suggest using the notebook tab at the top of each extension to help document how they work. Here is a screenshot of a suggested UI from my Lasercut box extension. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33807726@...2603.../5569339514/ Extra tabs could break up the info for clarity and show data like author,url, etc
So I propose: - supply a template for people writing extensions to use as a starter - and some docs/tutorials on making extensions in python - modify the existing extensions included in Inkscape to follow this guideline - maybe fix broken extensions if there are any (I haven't tried every one)
But I don't want to do something the dev team thinks is a waste of time, and I am unsure of the translation issues with such an approach.
Any thoughts ? Mark...
