Dear Inkscape Contributors, today, the Inkscape project celebrates its 20th anniversary. 20 years ago, it started out as a fork from the sodipodi project, with this email from Bryce: https://web.archive.org/web/20140110200622/https://sourceforge.net/p/sodipo… For this special day, Vectors have given the Community the opportunity to send their messages to you, the contributors. Please find the community's messages to you here: https://inkscape.gitlab.io/inkscape-docs/awesome-web-pages/20th_anniversary/ Happy 20th Anniversary! Maren

Creating a separate GitLab merge request
by David Milkes 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

I recently made a merge request for changes to the Beginners' Guide intro chapter. I'm making changes to the next chapter and committing them, but I want them to go to a separate merge, because Maren wants a separate MR per chapter. I don't see how that's possible. Can I have multiple MRs or do I have to wait for you to approve the existing one? -- *David Milkes - Technical Communications* *917-797-0011* *See my LinkedIn profile* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmilkestechcomm>

Pipelines failing
by David Milkes 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

I found another problem I'm afraid. I've been able to commit changes to my fork all of yesterday with all pipelines passing. But today it may appear that my commits all went through, because I can see the changes reflected in the GitLab preview, but almost all the pipelines failed. The error logs are too generic to understand the problem. My project ID is 51182168, named manuals_DMilkes. Would you be able to diagnose this? I'm ready to merge what I have but don't want to spread the problem over to the main repo. -- *David Milkes - Technical Communications* *917-797-0011* *See my LinkedIn profile* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmilkestechcomm>

Changing 1.3 interface color
by David Milkes 19 Oct '23

The default color of the Inkscape 1.3 interface is black. Does anyone know if there is a setting to change the color? -- *David Milkes - Technical Communications* *917-797-0011* *See my LinkedIn profile* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmilkestechcomm>

Pipeline issue fixed; required to rebase source branch
by David Milkes 18 Oct '23

18 Oct '23

Hi all, I found the offending issue that caused the pipelines to fail. The version of ReStructuredText you're using doesn't recognize the :underline: tag. I only wanted to use that to emphasize a UI element with an underscore, but it's not essential. What, in fact, is the RST version being used? I started the process of requesting a merge but in the middle of the page there is a statement: "Merge blocked: the source branch must be rebased onto the target branch." Should I do the rebasing? -- *David Milkes - Technical Communications* *917-797-0011* *See my LinkedIn profile* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmilkestechcomm>

Inkscape repo broken links?
by David Milkes 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Hi Maren, I was working on my fork all day yesterday and today with no problem. I can also browse the production repo in GitLab. However, when I click any Edit on GitLab link from the published manual, I get a 404 error. I hope I didn't do anything to cause this. An example broken link is https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/manuals/blob/setup_rtd/Inkscape-B…. -- *David Milkes - Technical Communications* *917-797-0011* *See my LinkedIn profile* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmilkestechcomm>

Any documentation projects coming up?
by David Milkes 11 Oct '23

11 Oct '23

I've used Inkscape for a few personal things and I'd like to contribute to your documentation. I clicked the bug report link regarding the web page that explains the difference between vector and bitmap drawings (#1258842), but I'm getting Page Not Found. Is that project still open? If not, please let me know if anything else comes up. Thanks. -- *David Milkes - Technical Communications* *917-797-0011* *See my LinkedIn profile* <http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmilkestechcomm>

Greetings and questions about Inkscape Beginners' Guide
by Wen-Wei Kao 29 Sep '23

29 Sep '23

Hello, Greetings! I'm Wen-Wei Kao (web handle ltlnx) from Taichung, Taiwan. I would love to contribute to translating the Inkscape Beginners' Guide to Chinese, however I'm not sure what's the procedure of translating the guide into a new language. Should I fork the repo and start translating directly, or are there other ways of doing it? Thanks in advance. (Apologies if this should belong in the inkscape-translators mailing list, I saw inkscape-docs as the only referenced list in the README and decided to post here) Cheers, ltlnx
