Hi all,
here is the sum up of the article I've read in Linux+ (French edition, Number 2, September/October 2004)
Title : Inkscape, où vas-tu ? (Inkscape, where are you going ?) Author : unknown Sum-up : The article presents Inkscape as a drawing application, forked from Sodipodi (due to divergent goals and opinions about development-process) aiming at offering a free & SVG compliant software. The author points out that : Inkscape is undergoing a Gtkmm'ification' and that its development process is very open, allowing fast and efficient integration of new features (interface, booleans, autopackage) and in line with developers and users (even beginners) needs. He also notes that a clear Roadmap is identified. Open clipart is mentionned as a fast evoluting sister project.
Apart from a few small mistakes (example Gtkmm'ification' is not finished) it provides a very positive feedback about the application
If some of you can have an access to / afford buying another edition (English, German, Spanish, Polish...) it might be intersting to compare the different versions/translations I can scan and mail the French article to anyone asking for it.
Regards,
Matiphas
PS : I've added a link about the linuxgraphix tutorial in the wiki. I can add this small review if you want.

Any idea who publishes it? Lost of magazines seem to be translated and reprinted in other languages across Europe but I dont happen to be familiar with Linux+.

I realy hope the author didn't use the phrase "Gtkmm'ification'" in a print publication because it is a really terrible (but convenient) use of the English language to begin with. He really should have written that Inkscape is starting to use the gtkmm libraries (or something equivalent in French of course) that would be more widely understandable.

I'd be interested to see the article if it is not too much trouble please mail me a copy offlist.

I think this would sound quite natural in German, where there is one of those enormous compound words for every occasion.
"gtkmmuebersetzung" ? "gtkmmkonversion" ? "das gtkmmtrickfensterumsetzung" ?

I informed the author of clones in inkscape 0.39 (the tutorial uses duplicate throughout); to which he replied that he sometimes has the impression that inkscape evolves so quickly that tutorials must often be updated :) .

Funny, when I've asked permission to convert to svg/translate in English/submit to Inkscape wiki to linuxgraphic, the author answered me that Inkscape had evolved and thus the tutorial would become more interesting if it mentionned the 'clone' feature. Anyway, he is ok with the incorporation of the tutorial in the inkscape 'knowledge database'
