Hello Inkscape developers,
As i'm always looking for opportunities to spread SVG i think i found a pretty good one that Inkscape can help take advantage of
This got me the idea: Within the *.pagina.nl framework that has millions of visitors a day, http://kleurplaat.pagina.nl gets so many visitors that nr1 sex.pagina.nl doesn't even manage to quadruple it.
"kleurplaat" is a drawing of black lines that is meant to be filled in by using coloring pencils. A whole stack of them combined in a book, being called a "coloring book" in english i was told.
The idea: Inkscape having a function maybe called "B&W lines" (B&W being black&white), or "kids coloring book" or something that turns whatever you have created into just that. It's probably not always straightforward, but i think in many occasions setting the fill to "" and the stroke to "black" will do most of the trick.
The bigger idea: If you implement this function into sth. that generally works, it might be a good idea to have openclipart.org offer this special version of every drawing (maybe generated on demand).
Hope you like it,
Keep up the good work,
Ruud http://svg-whiz.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ruud_Steltenpool

There are various colour tools in Adobe Illustrator such as converitng to black white or inverting the colours (and more, and I assume other art programs have similar things too) and it seems inevitable Inkscape will gain similar features. Making an effects like you describe would be a lot easier when the basics are standard features of inkscape. (Of course this is me making a none too sublte hint but I really should file a request and developers will implement it if and when they have time and interest.)
