Ted had a great idea to create the equivalent site for graphics development in Open Source like Planet Gnome is for the Gnome community.
Thus, I'm running with this idea to see whom would be interested in such a community. I have asked freedesktop.org if they would support this blog, and they said yes. Ted, Bryce and I discussed names for the project and subdomains and like lab.freedesktop.org (linux art blog).
The site basically would be a basic RSS Aggregrator and thus, we need your RSS feeds for your blogs and project news.
Before I set anything up, I wanted to see if the interest is out there and if people already have RSS feeds.
The general idea of this site would be to start communication between graphics development communites. This would include basically Inkscape, GIMP, Scribus, Cairo, etc. project blogs, but most importantly the individual developers blogs. The first step to sharing standards and ideas is to start this informal overlap and see what happens. This will also serve as a nice introduction for new developers and some users about to jump into the role of developer.
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.
Thoughts and suggestions would be wise. If anyone is interested, lets discuss this on the inkscape mailing list and once enough responses are collected, then I will setup necessary infrastructure (mailing list and site) to facilitate this news site.
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.
Thoughts?
Thx Jon

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).

I think there is a project GTK 2 for Mac OS somewhere out there too but I may be mistaken.
