Alan,

I think our development crew value comments, suggestions and posts to the bug tracker. Please don't mistake my comments as against that, but rather as constructive-criticism for a debate that is in favor of the person who fixes the "engine," so to speak.

We need developers of all skill-levels, and not just programmers.

Sorry, I saw the All-Caps and my brain switched off temporarily and I overreacted.

If Inkscape wasn't so differnt from the GIMP and Dia in how it handles it's shortcuts and I could get it to build I could probably with a little difficulty provide patches for keybindings.

It is difficult for me to convince developers I'm right at least in a certain way. When confronted by the 'show me the attitude' all I can do it politely state my case and try not to take it personally.

I need to improve my 'building' skills if i want to get more of a chance to prove my 'architecture' skills

Thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate that you engage my arguements and I sometimes overreact a little but I think I can safely put that down to how difficult it can be to express oneself clearly using only the written word.

Sincerely

Alan Horkan http://advogato.org/person/AlanHorkan/
