Hello, I'm still here and still willing to do the new responsive version of the website – unfortunately my work is bogging me down right through to my weekends at the moment :-( But as soon as my time frees up a little bit, I'll be back to help out! Sorry about that... Have you had any news from the other designer, Mathew? Have there been any evolutions since I've been away (features, content, contstraints, people...)? If you like we can prepare a plan of attack based on current needs and priority items, so that I can get started straight away as soon as I can dedicate time to it (I think in about a month's time).

If a grand-design becomes available at some point, the website can implement it; but for now the website has great feedback on style, layout and professionalism and the focus for the web team is on functionality and stability in this phase. (improving the design of some pages is still important as they're still being developed with the features) Martin, On 18 May 2015 at 01:04, Brynn <brynn@...78...> wrote: > Well I don't understand enough about how the website works, to know what > font I'm supposed to be seeing.

how to use Edit Link on website
by Brynn 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hi Friends, I just made some links on the proposed new animation page that I've been working on, and saved the page. But something went wrong, and not all the links worked. (When I clicked on the links, on the saved page to test, nothing happened.) So I went back into the editor and used right-click > Edit Link. But it does not show the URL, so I can't get any idea what I did wrong. All I could do was re-create the link, and hope it worked the 2nd time. But not knowing what I had done wrong, theoretically it could have gone on like that forever! Will there be any way to have the URL displayed somewhere from the django editor? I can always close out the editor, and use my browser to see what it was showing as the URL. But it might not have been the URL that was the problem. I really don't know what the problem was, in this case, because I didn't think of using the browser the first time. I just re-created the links, and now they do work. When I use Edit Link, the first thing that shows is a small dropdown menu with 3 options. When I choose URL, it shows me Procol dropdown and a URL field that's blank. So if we have to use CMS Plugins > Link to correct a broken link, why bother having Edit Link in the context menu at all? Thanks for your help :-) brynn

"M"s are light on web site/new site?
by Brynn 18 May '15

18 May '15

Hi Friends, Has anyone else ever noticed how all the capital letters M, on the website, look like they were typed with a typewriter whose M key has a weak spring? See attachments. I guess that must be something to do with the font? I guess most people would never notice it. But ever since I noticed it, I can't seem to ignore it! Anyway, a while ago there was some talk about making a new site, with responsive design, and I had some wishes for different text/heading styles, and a few other things. I'm just curious if anything is happening with that? Thanks, brynn

Add doxygen link to website?
by Maren Hachmann 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

Hi, I was just looking through the updated Roadmap, and noticed that this link http://jenkins.inkscape.org/job/Inkscape_trunk_doxygen/doxygen/ could be an extremely useful thing for new developers to get some sense of overview about Inkscape's structure. I'd like to add it to the section "The Inkscape Codebase" at https://inkscape.org/en/develop/getting-started . Is there any additional info I should include? Regards, Maren

manual page re animation
by Brynn 25 Mar '15

25 Mar '15

Hi Friends, I've just started working on a new page for the website, about animation and Inkscape. So I was looking at the info in the manual, and I noticed this page: http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/ANIMATION/. The illustration in the middle section of that page, Animation and CSS, doesn't seem to work with Firefox. The other 2 illustrations do show the animation when I click on them. But nothing with the one in the middle. Note that the image is animated on click, in IE11. Is this a known problem -- with the manual or with Firefox? Should make bug report in LP Documentation account? Thanks for your help, brynn

where does this belong? ("advanced" SVG coding)
by Brynn 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

Hi Martin and Friends, The last link on the Books and Manuals page has recently come to my attention, which is neither a book or a manual: http://www.learnsvg.com/. Maren and I were discussing it, and thought we might need to put the question to the devel list. But I thought well let's ask Martin first. My first thought was to just drop it from the website, being about much more advanced use of SVG than most Inkscape users would be interested in. My second thought was to add another section to the Learn page, with links to info like that (because I have a few more links to info on SVG coding (including for animation, on my site, that could be used here). Or if not on the Learn page, a new page for Learn menu, although I'm not sure if there's enough info for a whole new page. Another one of our thoughts, was add the link to the About SVG section of developer faq on the wiki. And I think we're pretty open for other suggestions, as well. The only thing I am sure of, is that it probably does not belong on the Books and Manuals page :-) Thoughts, suggestions? Thanks, brynn

The Graphical Web
by Brynn 08 Mar '15

08 Mar '15

Hi Friends, In my search for info for the new About SVG page, I came across this: http://www.graphicalweb.org/2015/. Just curious if anyone from the Inkscape community will participate, or has in the past? Also, at the bottom of that page, I see who is connected to the Learn SVG website. So perhaps it's not about to bitrot away after all (good news)! All best, brynn

Inkscape.org now using oauth2 for google
by Martin Owens 23 Feb '15

23 Feb '15

Dear Developers and docs, Please be aware that because google are decommissioning their openid services, we've moved the inkscape.org social auth login from openid to their oauth2 service. If you have trouble logging in using the new service, or find that when you do, you have a new account instead of your original one. Please let me know. Martin,
