staging site issues
by Brynn 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Hi Friends, Trying to do the test in the last comment for this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1432911, but I'm having some issues with staging site. First, 502 Bad Gateway shows after I log in. After I refresh the page, I see that I am logged in. Not sure if it will persist yet, but I'll let you know. 2nd, when I went to my profile page, I get a huge page full of errors and codes. The first 2 lines at the top are: "TypeError at /en/~brynn coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, instancemethod found" And at the very bottom, it says "You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 500 page" The problem is that I don't know where my Django settings file is. Is it in a preference file for staging site? Or something on my local system? Maybe Firefox? A lot of Ff prefs are set like that -- true or false. Also, I'm not sure if I really want a "standard 500 page" unless that just means to show the expected page. I could provide the page full of info, if you need it. Or there's a smaller section on a yellow background, at the top. Based on what little I can understand, I don't think I have the right kind of access to fix this. But if I can, just tell me how :-) Thank you very much, brynn PS - I won't try to change my pw until this either is fixed, or you tell me it's ok. Hhmm...actually, I can't really get past this error page at all. Yikes, this can't be good.....the 2nd to last line says " PROFANITIES_LIST /spaces/ u'********************' " (programmers' sense of humor?)

status of the Inkscape manual?
by Rich Morin 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

The Inkscape manual (http://en.flossmanuals.net/inkscape) is very nicely done, but I see no indication of the version it covers. Also, the "Published" date (2011-10-05) was quite a while back. Can anyone tell me the status of this document, where and how to submit contributions (eg, errata), etc? -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Rich Morin rdm@...105... http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/resume San Bruno, CA, USA +1 650-873-7841 Software system design, development, and documentation

new categories for gallery
by Brynn 22 Nov '15

Hi Maren, In addition to a new Icons category for the gallery, mentioned in IF, maybe should think about filters, templates, symbols, patterns, markers, etc.? I wouldn't be surprised if you already had this thought. All best, brynn

more on writing extensions
by Brynn 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Hi Friends (Maren, Martin), I've been wondering whether it might be a good idea to have a link to the guide to writing extensions, which recently was mentioned in a message on the dev list (https://medium.com/@xaviju/inkscape-extensions-by-non-developers-for-non-de…) somewhere on the website. Maybe either on the Develop page, or on the new Extensions page? And since I just came across another less technical kind of guide: http://www.hoboes.com/Mimsy/hacks/write-inkscape-extension-create-multiple-…, I'm motivated to bring up the issue here. Should they be listed/linked? I think they both serve as simple examples, which potentially could help new extension-writers. Or would they just be in that category of more links that are prone to bitrot? Just a thought. I'll be glad to make the edits, if everyone else agrees. All best, brynn

Dear Srravya, I saw your message on launchpad. Rather than comment there on that bug report I've emailed you directly here. (hopefully this email address is right) We'd love to have your help on the inkscape website. Please provide some more details and links to past work or a profile page. You can also register for an account on http://staging.inkscape.org where we practice using the website content management system. Thanks for wanting to help, Best Regards, Martin Owens Website Administrator

bad link in Extension Repository
by Brynn 08 Nov '15

08 Nov '15

Hi Friends, I've found an extension in the Repository with a not found url. I'm not sure who looks after this page, if anyone does. Should it just be left alone until the extension author comes to fix it? Or should it be deleted? Anyway, it's 1.39 Badge Renderer. Thanks, brynn

old staging pages
by Brynn 07 Nov '15

07 Nov '15

Hi Friends, I've been searching for Inkscape extensions today, and just came across one of the old pages on staging (in search results), where I was reorganizing community info. The last I remember, I thought those were all going to be deleted. But they're all still there -- 9 pages! It could be my memory isn't correct. But in any case, all those pages that start with "brynn...." could be deleted. All best, brynn

Hi, I'm Xavi, the author of the medium post. What would be a really good outreach is if you contact the author of the > medium.com article and ask him if he'd like to improve the inkscape.org > extension guide with the information he's written on his blog. I certainly don't mind contacting them and asking...or inviting them to help > with the official guide (especially since I've been "pushing" to get a > guide > written). But I'm not sure if it would be appropriate. Kind of like > making > "cold calls" an old telemarketing term, meaning to sell something to > strangers who have no previous interest in the product. > You can quote or simply copy my text without quoting, or I can do it myself if I learn how. Its totally no problem, just let me know. I wrote the text in medium as a self-guide on how I learnt to make a simple extension but since I am not a developer I was not sure it was ok. If anyone with more experience thinks this guide is good enough for inkscape guide to get started in inkscape extensions Ill be more than happy to help. I used some of this other posts as a reference for creating my own extension: https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-placeholder :) Xavi
