Documentation team?
by brynn 28 Jan '20

28 Jan '20

Hi Friends, In conjunction with the new Tutorials page, and call for new tutorial authors to join, I'm thinking maybe a Documentation team should be created (on the website Teams page)? It might at least be a good starting place, to think about a new community-managed manual, and all kinds of other documentation. Comments? All best, brynn

tutorials for Inkscape website
by brynn 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hi Friends, I'm brynn and I've contacted most of you before, as much as 5 or 6 years ago, when I was first creating a centralized listing of Inkscape tutorials (on Inkscape Community https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php). Unfortunately, for personal reasons, I'm going to have to close Inkscape Community at the end of this month. However, with help from the Inkscape website team, I've set up a somewhat similar system on the Inkscape website, where we want to make a new collection of tutorials. So I want to invite all of you Inkscape tutorial authors to join us, and make a new collection of tutorials on the Inkscape website. Please visit this new page when you have a chance, and check it out. https://inkscape.org/learn/tutorials/ If you'd like to help, please join us in the Documentation chatroom: https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/documentation. Or repy to the Docs mailing list, if you're subscribed. Or email me at the return address of this message, or use the website PM system (click on my profile, then the envelope icon). All best, brynn

some changes on website - vectors team
by brynn 07 Jan '20

07 Jan '20

Hi Friends, Back about 5 years ago, when Martin started to develop what we've come to know as the modern day Inkscape website, I transferred what I thought was worthy info from the old wiki, and that became the current Around the Internet page (https://inkscape.org/community/inkscape-around-internet/). It was worthy at that time, because the gallery had not been launched quite yet. Because it's 100% 3rd party links, in a bargain to allow the page onto the website, (which does not want 3rd party links) I volunteered to keep it up to date. At the time, we regularly had users contacting us to list their sites there. And of course links would go dead from time to time too. I've just started the process to update it again, and I realize that we have not had a single request in the last couple of years, from someone to list their site there. And I see sites that once has a couple dozen images, which now have just a couple. And a few of those sites are about to be completely deleted (dead links). I'm thinking that the usefulness of this page - which was to show users what Inkscape can do - has outlived it's purpose. Now we have the gallery, where users can not just upload their images, but link to their own images, and as well do the same in their profile. So I want to propose deleting that page (or moving it into some kind of hidden historical area, if outright deleting it doesn't seem right). And at the same time, I want renew the discussion about starting a new website feature, where users can either themselves make a little article explaining and showing about their project where they've used Inkscape (or else a website editor could interview them, and write it up for them). I think it would only take one article to get the ball rolling, and start to attract other users to participate. Since I'm resigning as a moderator, I'll have enough time to be a contact person for such a new feature. Under the heading of "changes on the website", the new Tutorials page is almost ready. For those who have edit access on the website, you can preview it here. https://inkscape.org/tutorials-proposed. It will replace the current Tutorials page. And the Video Tutorials page will be deleted, since this new page has both kinds. Comments welcome on any of this! All best, brynn

What can we improve in our wiki?
by Victor Westmann 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Hi All, I was just taking a look at Blender's Wiki ( https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Main_Page) and I was happy to identify they are using a similar wiki engine as we are. But I also noticed that they have a more modern (beautiful?) visual than we do. Is this something we are able to implement in our wiki as well? Besides this... are we going to revamp our wiki and centralize documentation material in it? Or are we going to readthedocs? Or are we going to centralize our efforts in the Gitlab wiki feature? Please let me know. I am really excited to read the article on how to write themes and icon sets for inkscape 1.x once it is ready. Thanks, Victor
