who is "InkScape Terms"?
by brynn 17 Jun '18

17 Jun '18

Hi Friends, I've just noticed a request to become a moderator, by a member named "InkScape Terms". Or just "Terms" for short. (https://inkscape.org/en/~Terms) The member's description of themself consists of a link to the CoC. Because Inkscape is spelled wrongly, with the uppercase S, it gives me the impression it's a spam username. Otoh, the link to the CoC makes me wonder if it's something created by a regular community member, for some reason which I can't imagine. If it's the latter, someone please explain it to me, and I will go ahead and approve the membership to the team. Or otherwise, I'll just decline it. Personally I think it's a wannabe spammer, and it seems shocking how deep spammers will surf, and search for a "way in". We've had equally as many spammers trying to be moderators, as legitimate members! But I could be wrong. Thanks, brynn

moderation - auto-draw
by brynn 07 May '18

07 May '18

Hi Friends, I've flagged and hidden a linked webpage for a web app called Auto-Draw. The member (who although flagged, hasn't been deleted yet) has re-posted it. (The re-upload: https://inkscape.org/en/~lorena.losterzo/%E2%98%85lorena-lo-sterzo+0) Is that somehow related to Inkscape, or does it actually use Inkscape? I've tried researching it, but all I can tell is that it's related to Experiments with Google and Google Creative Labs. I don't see a connection to Inkscape, but if there is one, will someone please let me know? (Normally I would just wait for another moderator on the moderation page. But since he's re-posted it, I wanted to find out sooner.) (or might be "she") Thanks, brynn

odd display on moderation page
by brynn 28 Apr '18

28 Apr '18

Hi Friends, I just wanted to mention a flagged resource on the moderation page, where the code for the raster image is pasted into the description (data:image/jpeg;base64,/......). It's creating an unexpected display. Just in case it might not be already known. See "Black Womann Silhouette With Shade" by member ttdavis3 All best, brynn PS - Do you need a new Issue on gitlab?

Tutorial links duplicated on website
by Eduard Braun 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi all, while trying to figure out the cause of a series of reports about broken links to the tutorials [1] I noticed we have partially duplicated content regarding tutorials at 1. https://inkscape.org/en/learn/ and 2. https://inkscape.org/en/learn/tutorials/ Does anybody remember why this structure was chosen (or is it an accident ;-) )? Are there any objections to moving all tutorial links to (b.) and only leave the "Written Tutorials" link with a short summary on (a.)? Regards, Eduard [1] https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/issues/193

calling gallery moderators :-)
by brynn 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Hi Moderators, The moderation page is growing large with reported images and resources. Unfortunately, one moderator has resigned, so if any of you has time, it would be great if we can clean it up a bit. Thanks for your time and care in helping to keep the gallery nice :-) On more of a technical note -- Is the reason that reported TIFF hasn't been cleared off the moderation page, because of TIFFs being incompatible? Because it's been voted approved, but remains on the page for months now. All best, brynn

missing Mac download page?
by brynn 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

Hi Friends, We've had a question in forums from people looking for the download (page) for Macs. It seems that page is either missing, or has been removed. I would guess, if it was removed on purpose, it's because there is no version 0.92.3 for Macs. But there still should be an easily accessible page (linked on the main Download page) for Macs. Even if it says "sorry, there is no current version for Macs, but here's a link to the last stable release". At least in my opinion :-) Otherwise, that will only be the first of many questions, asking for a Mac download. Thanks! All best, brynn

moderation question - formats which aren't displayed
by brynn 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

Hi Moderators, I was just pondering the recent upload of a file with the format .studio3. (https://inkscape.org/en/~Tanzbella/%E2%98%85nahliebe-chrissibag-emblem-1mal) I'm not familiar with that format, and suspect it might be the native format for some particular graphics program. My question is what should we do with images with formats which the website does not recognize or display? Should we take the time to contact the member, and ask them to submit a different format? Or should we just delete them (not removing member in this case)? To me, it doesn't make sense to waste our space on something which no one can see (unless they download it, and have a program which will open it). To me, TIFF is a different story, as it's my understanding we hope to be able to display them someday. But for anything else which is fairly obscure, how should we handle it? Thanks for comments :-) brynn

red dashed rectangle missing (moderation)

Hi Martin, I'm no longer seeing the red dashed rectangle around hidden images anymore. Now the images are just missing entirely. Has something been changed? Thanks, brynn
