Hi,
It seems that there is a general agreement that we are moving to .47 release phase. Should we start thinking about a splash contest then? With winning image going to 0.47 and 2nd place -- to .48/SVN like the last time?
Alexandre
Yes, I update page with history screens about and link to screen contest. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AboutScreen

In the past there were some people who wanted the contest to NOT be held on deviantart. Since I tend to be the person who has started them there, I'd like to get a feel from the community about where people stand on this. If there is a desire for us to host it, suggestions on a good way to handle the display and voting would also be appreciated. :)
Cheers, Josh

Why don't use ccHost in openclipart.org ?

I can swear there was still some issue by the time the last contest had already started. Is this feasible now?

I was going to suggest we could use Flickr - but then I don't know how we'd handle voting. And I'm not sure Openclipart has a voting mechanism either.
For LCA 2008 we ran a competition to pick a sharpener... (long story) anyway, we have a little website that lets you upload an image - and have other people vote on that image...
http://lca2008.linux.org.au/sharpenr/index.php/hiscore
All it needs is an authentication system to patch into... so it can read username or email and password. Perhaps the Inkscape wiki would work? It uses MySQL to store votes.
Changing the header, and the voting labels to be relevant is trivial :)

Hi,
I don't know the ins and outs about this question. Deviantart looks like a big place, used by many people, not necessarily inkscapers... It looks like a good idea to run the splash context in a place where it can be seen by people that are not inkscape fanatic *yet*! our entries where quiet good, demonstrating inkscape power, and it's an enjoyable event, pepole might want to participate and take the opportunity to discover inkscape...
However, I don't know deviantart so well, so there might be issues I'm not aware of, about licences I guess(?)... So I'd vote for the most visited place by the most different people possible, which ever it is.
Cheers, jfb.

deviantART allows you to a) upload SVG sources and b) set a CreativeCommons license.

+1 from me too We have decent sized community there that have done well for us in the past, it's nice to be able to involve them in the process.

Whatever hosting we pick, what rules do we set this time? What particular new features would we want to have being demoed?
We have new modes in Tweak tool. We have new Spray tool that might or might not make it into 0.47 (their deadline is 2 weeks away) We have a hell of new SVG Filters and a bunch of new extensions
Ah! We have Spiro :)
What else?
Alexandre
Just a little remark: I'm not sure the splash screen should focus on demonstrating new features... A good feature is a feature you don't even notice, leaving all the place to the picture, no technics. (and if the new ones are usefull, they'll be used, won't they? ;-) The splash screen should talk about inkscape in general: drawing freely, community, quality, power of imagination, precision, etc...
But don't care too much about this remark; how much attention we pay on this 'rule' only depends on voters taste so is self solved ;-). And listing the new features is always a good thing...
Cheers, jfb.

The roadmap says: "Milestone 13 - Inkscape 0.47 - Refactoring / Cleanup" So maybe we can try to have a "refactoring" themed about screen?
I've had the following idea for a long time, and probably I won't be able to draw it myself :-( : A technical drawing of the Inkscape logo, showing gears and sprockets and whatnot inside. So a semi-transparent Inkscape logo showing the inside of Inkscape. Drawn on a piece of square line paper (with a pencil drawing the logo?).
Cheers, Johan
Good idea! I think it would be fair to tribute all the developpers who did a very hard and fastidious work in the refactor, by setting the theme of the splash screen to "refactoring". They burnt a huge amount of energy in this, and stayed completely off the scene! refactor/cleanup is less rewarding than developping a brillant new feature, but is certainly more crucial for the long run.
So +1 vote for a refactor theme.
jfb.

Me too. Great idea.
And I love Johan's suggestion below... It would be great to see that! I'm not a good enough artist - but I'll have a go at something like that just as an exercise!
