Language Redirect
by Martin Owens 01 Jun '16

01 Jun '16

I've put in a 302 redirect into nginx on the website to tell it to redirect anyone going to inkscape.org/ to inkscape.org/en/ if you notice that the website is now always going to english on this page, that is intended. The background to this is that 20% of the webserver's resources were being used redirecting people from / to their language of choice like /de/ or /fr/ and the code and the database queries were /really/ very bad. Despite the loss in automatic language redirection for the landing page, please open a bug report in lp:inkscape-web if you need this feature. It'll take a while to write something that isn't quite so demanding on the resources of the machine. You should notice a slight speed improvement on the website. Martin Owens

Thanks for forwarding the image. Couldn't we just ask? The suggested proceeding feels a bit 'the wrong way around'. Who would need to be asked? We could even pass the translations back to them, if they want.

user gallery (InkSpace)
by Brynn 23 May '16

Hi Friends, I've just discovered this page: https://inkscape.org/en/~brynn/gallery/brynns-gallery/. I wanted to ask some questions instead of making a bug report, in case the problems are already fixed, or about to be fixed. In the future, will there be a way to change the title, such as change "brynn's gallery" to "brynn's artwork" (or whatever)? Since it says "None" underneath the title, does that mean there is going to be a way to add a description? Or maybe there already is, and I haven't found it yet? How does it decide which image to use for the thumbnail? I think that's the first image I uploaded. But it would be nice to be able to choose. Also that thumbnail doesn't have the correct proportions. It's distorted. And finally. It's not easy to find this page, and it seems like it should be more easily accessible. I don't understand why it goes from my profile (https://inkscape.org/en/~brynn/gallery/brynns-gallery/) where I have to click on "All Uploads" (https://inkscape.org/en/~brynn/gallery/). And then from there, click on "brynn's gallery" (https://inkscape.org/en/~brynn/gallery/brynns-gallery/). It seems like the Galleries menu (bottom-right of https://inkscape.org/en/~brynn/gallery/) should be on the profile page. The Media Category and License menus could go on brynn's gallery page (https://inkscape.org/en/~brynn/gallery/brynns-gallery/). I can see how it's helpful to have an "all uploads" page. But having to click through it, to find the gallery page (or pages), seems unnecessary. I think the galleries should be linked directly from the profile. Let me know if any of these should be written in a new bug report. I'll be glad to create one. But otherwise, just having those questions answered would be much appreciated. Thank you very much, brynn

Recommending an OS
by Martin Owens 12 May '16

I'm mentioning this in inkscape since it's an interesting idea executed by a company rather than a free software project: http://store.steampowered.com/about/ Take a look at the bottom, where it says: "Ubuntu is our favorite version of Linux. Interested in giving it a whirl? You can install and run Ubuntu from a Live CD or USB stick, or install it to run alongside Windows. Grab an Ubuntu installer from Canonical and see what it’s all about." That's really interesting from our perspective, because our website never recommends using a free software desktop, or linking to ubuntu's website. Are we too cautious about recommending something like Ubuntu along side using Inkscape? Should we say that linux is the platform with the most support and Ubuntu is probably the one you should try first. Or are we happy with the no-opinion presentation we have currently? Is it false balance to present ourselves as if all desktops are equal to us? Anyway, I'm just mulling this over. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Credits Page
by Martin Owens 03 May '16

Docs and Developers, There's a new credits page on the website, it documents the full list of people who help do documentation, translations and website work: https://inkscape.org/en/credits/ It could be expanded to include regular lp:inkscape codebase too, since the lists are dynamic and most are generated from bzr logs. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hi Friends, https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/9492/ https://media.inkscape.org/media/resources/file/7-1.jpg Title translates to "dry eye syndrome". If you follow the link, it's an advertisement for some kind of eye drops. Doubtful the image was made with Inkscape. Thanks, brynn
