Hi Justin!
I'm glad someone wants to work on a good Python API for inkscape. And your proposal seems really nice, maybe there's a little bit of need to clean up and structure the API. But I'm sure with the help of a good mentor and wiki, that will be a job done!!
Whether or not this goes through I would like to recommend you some work I've done in a similar field and some links that might be of your interest:
Processing: http://www.processing.org Geomerative (a library for Processing in JAVA): http://www.ricardmarxer.com/processing/geomerative/documentation/index.htm Caligraft (some examples using geomerative): http://www.caligraft.com Hexagonando (JAVA plugin needed): http://www.ricardmarxer.com/proyectos/hexagonando.html
Nice examples!!! I have some of my own at http://www.ricardmarxer.com
Keep up the great work ricard

Dear Inkscape Developers:
My name is Justin Barca, and I will be applying for the Summer of Code position with Inkscape. Recently I drafted a proposal for Inkscape, and when I decided to seek out developers to help me improve my proposal, I found the website encouraging me to do so on the mailing list, so here I am.
I put my preliminary proposal for improving the Python extensions/effects API on the Inkscape wiki at this address: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ImprovingPythonExtensionAPI. If any of you would be willing to be an advisor for my proposal please contact me. Particularly, it would be useful to talk with anyone who has worked on the extensions/plugins/Python aspect of Inkscape.
In the lead-up to the final announcements, I will be preparing to work on my proposal for Inkscape because despite the odds, I believe that I have what it takes to win a SOC position. Even if I don't, I still want to integrate my creations into Inkscape. Thus I've been studying the current Python extensions API, improving my Python programming skills, and learning SVN (of which I'm pleased to hear you're using). Any other suggestions for preparations are welcome.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Justin Barca
