I would guess probably not. I know Lauris had Sodipodi working with Gnumeric (I think) as a plug-in type thing, but that was several years ago and don't think there has been effort at maintaining it.

I'd love to know if the bonobo stuff is worth resurrecting. If not, maybe it should be removed.

I'd really love to see this saved... I think we could help out a presentation program if one gets off the ground...

Hi Folks, I'm really impressed with the energy, enthusiasm and code from your project. I would love to able to edit SVG diagrams in place with various Gnome-Office applications (well AbiWord and Gnumeric for starters). I hope we can hash out an Gnome-Office bonobo interface soon - and I'm fairly certain that SVG will be an important part of it.

So if you can keep the bonobo interface alive it will save us quite a bit of work.

Okay, well if anyone's interested in having a look, the code is in inkscape/src/bonobo. There's a dozen files totaling around 1000 lines. As a start it'd be nice to know if it compiles with g++.

Longer term, this may be something we look when developing the plugin system; if we can make Bonobo wrappers that conform to our plugin API then it should be straightforward to implement and maintain.
