I like the idea, it would be quite interesting, and developers blogs are quite interesting for someone evaluating the capabilities and future path of the project.
This is kinda offtopic but any idea how I would go about starting a native mac OSX port would be greatly appreciated (I'm still very new too developing, and don't know much except for some basic C++ and C...) I'm not sure how to sort of just replace all the gtk widgets with cocoa ones. At the moment I use adobe illustrator for web graphics, but I reckon inkscape is far more capable (and has a nicer interface) and I guess im also a kinda mac zealot who adores liinux and opensource.

I assume you already know about this (Mac OS X Launcher for Inkscape) http://www.coswellproductions.org/index.php/code/inkscape_mac_os_x_launcher....

I'd urge you to look at http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ rather than rewriting the user interface in Cocoa. Working on GTK would help bring many more applications to MAc OS X beyond just Inkscape and it would avoid the need to maintain a seperate port of Inkscape.

Yep, I currently use x11 version of inkscape with it :)
Thanks for the info, I'm glad you told me before I started work :), maybe I shoulda done a bit more googling...

GTK for MacOS X would be great, but http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/ is just about GTK 1.X but for Inkscape (and Gimp, Gaim, Dia, Gnumeric...) you will need GTK 2.

Yeah, probably, if you want to see this happen is to help out with Cairo on Mac OS X. The GTK+ project said that they'd like to start using Cairo as a renderer, and the Cairo guys said that they'd like to support Mac OS X natively. So, in a nutshell, that would mean that GTK+ apps would run on Mac OS X. The GUI wouldn't look exactly the same, but that could be accomplished with a theme (perhaps something GTK-Wimp-ish).
