Heya, one of my top priority projects at CC now is OLPC. I talked with the pres. of software and content, Walter Bender today and I intro'd myself and mentioned Inkscape, and he immediately said, "Oh cool, I use Inkscape all the time. Want to port it to Sugar?"
"Sugar is the core of the OLPC Human Interface. Its goal is to turn the Laptop into a fun, easy to use, social experience that promotes sharing and learning."

Has anyone tried to build Inkscape with Sugar? Is anyone interested in doing this? It is a cool thing to have happen, as they are needing a drawing program, and this could help us springboard into the process of refactoring and lib'ification more, as the device has memory/space limits and a targeted demographic, kids.
I started a wiki page on it for anyone who is interested: http://wiki.inkscape.org:8080/wiki/index.php/OLPC
Would anyone like to help? If so, I can possibly get a development system for use/testing, although I believe there is a livecd of current builds (based on fedora core 6) and a test environment that can be run locally...
Out of curiousity, do you have a listing of libraries that are available on it? I.e., does it have gtkmm, libsigc++, pango, etc.?
