Oh, it's all so very exciting! Where did the time go since Hackfest 2015?
Can I ask a couple of questions, from the user perspective, which might be VERY briefly clarified in the article?
Regarding the C++ plugin system. It's been my understanding that most extensions are made with Python. Is C++ replacing Python? Or it's going to allow new extensions to be made with C++ along with Python?
Do I understand correctly that moving to GitHub will mean leaving Launchpad? I've been looking at GitHub some (while sporadically working on a master list of extensions) but to me, those 2 sites bear very little similarity. Granted I'm not a programmer, but will it be a rough transition? Or do most developers understand how to use it already? When will the move start? Or is more discussion needed about that?
To help stimulate more interest by users, in development (in addition to Maren's messages) -- were there any well-known bugs fixed? I understand the gtk flickering bug. Any others? Or any requested features/tools added? Maybe link to the reports for both, if so?
Thanks to all our 2016 Hackfest Hackers! (http://inkscapecommunity.com/ic_gallery/displayimage.php?pid=467)
All best, brynn
