Hello, Our student project is now finished. Thanks to our mentor Johan, our work is now in main trunk. For us it is a real pleasure to see that.
Our goals were : - LPE stacking : Check it out - LPE for groups : has already been committed - LPE envelope : we created 2 deformation effects, the first one is "Envelope", the second is "Lattice" and is based on the d2sb2d object from 2geom. They are not designed for the same use. Indeed, while the lattice offers an accurate deformation, this deformation is only determined by control points. It also allows the user to move inner control points, which can't be done with the Envelope deformation. The power of the Envelope deformation is the absolute control of the shape of the envelope.
We made lots of efforts to correct bugs we found, but you may find some more.
Concerning the school, our teachers told us our project is one of the best of this year. They qualified it of "excellent project" and they were very glad to see our results. I hope this will spur the students on to work on open source project.
I intend to continue working on Inkscape, first by "polishing the edge" of our actual work and then by adding things I have in mind. I hope people will like and use what we did.
Thanks again Johan and the inkscape community, The team : De-Cooman Aurélie Tebby Hugh Falzon Noé Bouclet Bastien Navez Victor Giannini Steren
Salut ! bravo pour votre projet industriel j'ai survolé le rapport il est très bien fait j'suis en 1ère année de cycle ingénieur à l'école centrale d'électronique (à paris) j'aimerais que nos professeurs nous poussent à réaliser des projets comme le vôtre.

This is absolutely fantastic news. Congratulations and thank you to you all.
Is anyone willing to make this a new item on the Inkscape home page? I think it is certainly deserving.

A short time ago, those of us who had been actively discussing the manual on the inkscape-docs list agreed that FLOSS Manuals (http://flossmanuals.net http://flossmanuals.net/) was our best option for keeping an official manual up-to-date while encouraging non-technical users to contribute. It has a simple interface, is readily available (it is a web application), and there exist translation tools which are being actively developed to provide a usable translation interface. There are many other benefits to using FLOSS Manuals (FM) as well: we would have the ability to organize different setups of manuals / how-tos by arranging existing content into new “manuals”; to generate manuals in different distributable formats (export as pdf, html, and even print online with lulu.com, et cetera). These powerful capabilities create an exciting possibility to build and maintain a dynamic manual with minimal effort.
Recently, FM has received a small grant from Google to host a “book sprint”. Adam Hyde of FM has personally invited some of the members from the inkscape-docs list to join him for the book sprint in order to flesh out a basic, up-to-date manual using the FM tools. (If you have not seen how this works yet, you can go to the website and check it out. Since our manual has only some test material in it, you cannot yet view it as a manual, but if you set up user account, you can view it in the edit mode.)
While FM has certain guidelines which the book sprint must follow and goals to accomplish, we will be discussing on inkscape-docs the particulars which we want the book sprint to produce in order to make it most productive for both FM and Inkscape. Adam will be active in this discussion, and help guide it so that it proceeds toward both FLOSS Manual goals and Inkscape Docs goals. Anyone who would like to participate in this discussion is welcome and encouraged to do so.
Also, anyone is welcome and encouraged to take part in the actual book sprint itself, which will be taking place from July 5^th through the 12^th in Paris. Participants are welcome either in person, if you are able, or else by internet. (Details will follow on inkscape-docs as they are worked out.)
The committed participants thus far are:
Adam Hyde (from FLOSS Manuals) Brianna Laugher from Wikimedia (http://brianna.modernthings.org http://brianna.modernthings.org/) Cédric Gemy (pygmee) Elisa de Castro Guerra (yemanja) Alexandre Prokoudine and I (Joshua Facemyer)
We are all looking forward to spending some time getting to know each other better, seeing Paris (those of us who don't live there ;) and, most importantly, putting together an Inkscape Manual for the betterment of the Inkscape community!

Thank you, this is incredibly cool!
Two crashes I found so far:
- moving a LPE in the list up or down cannot be undone, and if you undo, it undoes some previous action and crashes soon after
- spiro + pattern on path with circular pattern + sketch crashes
Thanks again!
Hello, thanks all for your feedback.
- spiro + pattern on path with circular pattern + sketch crashes
This works at rev 18773, last week, the sketch effect was broken.
- moving a LPE in the list up or down cannot be undone, and if you
undo, it undoes some previous action and crashes soon after
yes indeed, LPE are not very undo-friendly for the moment.
I've put online our project final report.http://steren.giannini.googlepages.com/PI24Inkscaperapport.pdf You can check it out, we wrote it in english. It is a description of our work, our organization... The best would be to store it on inkscape.org. It could give ideas to other students.
I added things from this report to the wiki : - Calculating the groupbounding box http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/MakingLivePathEffects#LPE_on_group_:_get_the_entire_bounding_boxfor people to build LPE using the bounding box of the item on which the LPE is applied. - examples and detailshttp://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/MakingLivePathEffects#Examples_and_detailsto see how existing LPE work

I don't want to sound alarmist, but this is something that must be fixed before anything else. The validity of undo stack is absolutely critical for any feature you add.
