Nothing to see here, move along please.
I would disagree - since SVG support is very important to us in the SVG community and if the Mozilla team is holding it back, then the question becomes what can we do to encourage them along. Answer:
1) Promote (and yes I mean stick a link right on the home page of Inkscape) the use of a beta version with SVG amongst the SVG community to help the Mozilla team flush out SVG bugs (this is what I meant by promoting an "underground" Firefox w/ SVG version). Maybe use the last cvs before the last release (1.01) so the rest of Firefox is pretty stable for us to use on a regular basis.
2) help the Mozilla team resolve whatever decisions they need to make regarding SVG features vis a vis the CSS conflicts Mitchell mentions.
3) this activity will also help demonstrate demand for SVG to bump it up in the Mozilla priority list
Sitting on our hands waiting for them is not very pro-active - we should be glad it's this far along and jumping on their work - otherwise it only justifies the lower priority it may be receiving. Now anyone have a SVG .deb package that I can use with my Ubuntu? (I'm not sure how to dig into the CVS to get the right version).
