[Inkscape-devel] Layermanager and germanmailinglist?

Hi inkscapedevs. I would be happy if the Layer Manger would be further developed. So that you create in a main layer can still flat. More specifically, if I want to put on an object shadows or highlights. Which are then all in the layer of the object.

Another thing would be if it were still a German mailing list. Is it possible to care for something or just want to be?

Thanks for help
