Hi all,

To know each other a little better I propose to ad a section of "who made Inkscape" @ www.inkscape.org http://www.inkscape.org

ie: I can put the following line: "human-machine interface software developer of inkscape" in my resume (Curriculum Vitae) to get a job... since (I) "have the habit of eating" ^_^

There already is such a section in the wiki: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ContactInfo and also the blog aggregator: http://planet.inkscape.org/

I propose that we elect some developers and put one 512x512px mini-blog image (at most). I chose to be the last entry (in this year, 2007 CE). ...I don't care about ego. (...flam3s over the Net pass through emptyness, aka insults to me are ignored so don't even try =P). This images can link to our personal websites... etc

Why not leave as now, freeform so anyone can use the desired layout for his own user page?

...we lose ~75% of communication when chosing "plain text communication" instead of "real-world personal in-the-same-place communication" so, any questions about this simple idea?

There are many other places where you can see Inkscape people communicating in more than plain text, like http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/

Hi all,

To know each other a little better I propose to ad a section of "who made Inkscape" @ www.inkscape.org

As others have pointed out this information is available in other places such as the AUTHORS and translators files, and the FAQ mentions the history of Inkscape and the "founders".

If you are serious about your idea something you might do is create a page in the Wiki, something along the lines of "People behind Inkscape" and collect links pointing to some of the places already mentioned. (Note, I would suggest you aim for a link to a place where the latest versions of the AUTHORS files could be seen rather than copying across a list that would need to be updated manually.)

You could do that but it might be best to wait until you are included in the AUTHORS file.

I propose that we elect some developers

If you volunteer to create a page in the wiki and get this started then others could be encouaged to help out but we have no power to elect or compell developers to do it.

A few good photos from events where people have met face to face could certainly help to reinforce the sense of community but this is more likely to come from the people, collecting postings to journals and photo galleries and then linking to them from the Wiki.
