Do you have an itch to say something about Inkscape?
Well, we need you! The 0.44 release is coming up _awfully_ soon, and we need people who can tell people about it! :-)
Basically, what we need are folks to write articles about inkscape 0.44 for online magazines (both Libre and commercial magazines.) Any subject is fine; if nothing else, the articles should serve to help introduce other users to the new features and show how to take good advantage of them.
We especially need people who can write for non-English magazines, to help spread inkscape worldwide, so if you are fluent in a non-English language, you are especially valuable!! :-)
Here is how to do articles on Inkscape: a) pick a magazine to write for; b) search their site for a page about 'author info' or 'writing' or etc. (maybe linked to from their About or Contacts pages.); d) decide what you want to write about (maybe Inkscape 0.44!!); e) write to the editor with a proposal for your article; f) gain approval and write your article; g) get it published, perhaps with some $$ in return. And h) let Inkscape know about your article, so we can link to it from our homepage!

I'm absolutely flat out at work at the moment - hence the disarray on the new site, but i'll try and get something up on copyleftmedia.org.uk.
Look forward to testing it!

I have been talking with the Director of the Spanish version of Linux Magazine, Paul Brown and i'm going to write for the magazine in the evaluation section of the next issue talking about the new features of Inkscape 0.44. It's going to be 3 or 4 colored pages an it will be published on September because there is no issue on August and I have just finished (i work doing layout for this month) some minutes ago the July's number and there is no time or space to be included.
Now i have just finished the layout i'm going back to translate the news of the website for the spanish version and the spanish's wiki.
Bye!

Excellent, it'll be great to see this. :-)
Don't forget to post a link here (and to inkscape-user-es) when it is published so we can check it out.

For France, I and Matiphas are already working on the subject.
Ideas are coming, and i'm in Contact with S. Gauthier (OO.org) and P. Linnell to have a common approach. Plus, i've been volunteer to make a booklet presentation for gimp's next release.
I'm ready to finish the Inkscape booklet. It could be sent to any relation people. It includes some explanation on new features and quick tutorials. English just have to be proofread. I give the address and tell improvement or if you use Scribus, ask for source file.

Confirmed. On my side, preparing - some interview questions (for a developper and an artist) - a mini tutorial (small plan of the floor of an house : how to fit all your furniture in your flat) Must point out, i'm late on those 2 tasks.
Plus on the other side, working on the translation of Tavmjong's guide in order to help him finding a publisher.

That booklet is really nice, I've learnt nice things about Inkscape new features
By the way, another new feature that's quite nice and could be stressed is the fact that the calligraphy tool keeps the chosen color. It'l invaluable for ink drawing/painting (it was quite impossible to do anything but b/w before, unless spending hours selecting thousand of strokes and changing each one's color)
Don't know if it's of any help, you might have corrected it already :
French :
il aide à la sélection > il facilite la ... (need to modify the rest)
remplit > rempli
essayer > essayez
Inkscape propose maintenant de façons > is it a "deux" ?
totue > toute
theme > thème
quasi > presque/pratiquement/... but please get rid of that ugliness X) tout en ayant > avec (lighter) then you don't need en voyant. Or, better maybe : "et offre des menus améliorés ainsi que des profils de clavier."
fenetre > fenêtre
And "appréhender" could be replace once by some other verb like "Pour saisir/ Pour comprendre / Pour mettre en évidence..."
English :
it allows to easily access to sublayers > it allows to easily access sublayers OR it allows easy access to sublayers
I wasn't able to copy and paste from evince (I don't have acroread atm because of an incompatibility with a scim package I didn't bother to fix yet). I don't know what prog you're using, but OO allow to produce easygoing pdf. If you're using a GPL one I'd like to know which (so I can avoid it :) ) Oh, and pasting to Thunderbird crashed it so I had to retype everything :P :P :P
Last remark about the French : magnétisme used alone (not like force magnétique, for example) evokes ideas like mesmerism to my French mind. Unless it's been chosen also by a well known software starting with a P, I'm not sure it's the best idea for a translation. Just an allergic reaction probably, but quite a strong one (magnétisme being associated in my mind with all the silly ideas and mystic theories, like supernatural and such (cf Conan Doyle and such).
Hope I haven't been toooooo fussy. I can't help being French (I try to avoid it, but I've forgotten my pills today).

Actually it was very easy to do. You just had to change the tool style from fixed to last-set in prefs. All I did for 0.44 was make the last-set the default.

Actually, no in 0.43 even with last-set set in preferences calligraphy tool always used black to draw with and than on completion changed to the last set color. Thanks to you, JonCruz, ACSpike; I changed it so it now draws in the last-set color with correct opacity ( thanks ACSpike for the opacity fix) it was very small fix that need to be done to make the tool more useful.

I pinged the author from the c't magazine who handled that in the past.
I'm still planning on writing a report on their test last month, but have been busy with translation stuff so far.
Cheers, Colin
