I've started sketching out a PR piece about Inkscape 0.40, with the
intent of writing up something lengthy that both discusses the new
capabilities of the project and encourages people to chip in help at
improving things.
http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ArticleIntroducingInkscape0_40
I've identified a few areas that definitely need more fleshing out; help
on those areas would be quite valuable. Also, example images are needed
to show off the capabilities; I'm sure I could rough something together
but am betting that folks who actually have artistic talent could do a
much better job than I. :-) So help would be much appreciated there as
well.
I haven't thought about where to publish it; Footsteps perhaps.
This is also a rough "off the cuff" writing, so needs some editing and
wordsmithing, as it's probably too wordy at this point. I haven't even
spell checked it, so there's probably seplling and that grammer problem
too.

Great idea Bryce! You are good at pushing for these types of things. I
think it would be good to push on footnotes, osnews and lwn.
The last article you wrote did pretty well, and we are in need of
pushing PR to the next level while we are still in the Holiday zone to
encourage more contributions.

Okay, well please contribute some improvements to the article. I'll try
to get it printed widely (though I'll need help).

Let me know how I can help... When it's time to start the announcements,
I'll hit up a few art sites (like deviantArt, and sites along those
lines). I might also try to find some art forums as well to help spread
the word to the masses as well. Hmmm... maybe I'll post on Adobe's
forums =P (j/k)

Gnome-Look has a newspage
http://www.gnome-look.org/news
Might aslo be worth asking http://art.gnome.org/ for a mention as a
'featured item'
I realise that print publications dont usually want content that has
already appeared on the web but offering to allow them to use the content
might be a good way to encourage them to write an article. I sent one or
two letters to some graphics magazines but got not response whatsoever,
but when Inkscape 0.40 comes out I will try again and see if I can't get
it included on a coverdisk somewhere.
The last article you wrote did pretty well, and we are in need of

The article you wrote was good,
the interview on the Dot was even better.

Alan, can you try to get us listed there?

Yeah, it looks like they've not had an item for a couple months. It
would be very cool to get on this page, if anyone's interested in
writing a short article for Inkscape.

It'd be great to see Inkscape included in a coverdisk.

Cool. We've gotten some good PR so far with 0.40. The feature article
on LWN was a particularly good win. I don't know if we've gained more
contributors but hopefully we'll gain one or two new developers. Guess
we'll see. :-)
