This is really nice. Aaron, one thing that we'd talked about in the past is starting to move twoards having a seperate package of scripts, to remove some dependencies from the base Inkscape package. So, you'd have "inkscape.rpm" and "inkscape-scripts-python.rpm" that you'd install (if you wanted).
As someone who is starting to write more scripts, do you have thoughts on this? Would you perhaps want to start such a package? Do any of the packagers out there have any thoughts?
I'd love to start a package, but I'm sure I wouldn't have a clue. I thought I read somewhere that Inkscape was leaning toward a CPAN-like setup perhaps an XML-RPC service. In some ways I think distributing a package of extensions doesn't fit well with the cause.
Thinking about how scripts should be distributed reminded me of a question I wanted to as a few days ago. Should there be or is there a search path for extensions? Could I for instance install my custom effect scripts and thier *.inx files into ~/.inkscape/extensions ?

Sounds good to me. I can change that tonight, it is easy to do. I was thinking we should have a list as a preference, but that'll have to wait for GConf :)
Anyone think there should be a different place to look?

It makes senes to keep it to the two locations - one for system-level extensions, one for user-level extensions. It would probably be wise for us to do this the same for all the share collateral - fonts, gradients, color palettes, markers, clipart, etc. I think we're going to need system and user storage for each of these, so we may as well do them all consistently. ;-)
