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

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,

front page staging missing image
by Brynn 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Hi Friends, This is probably not very important, but just in case. The yellow bars/ warning/under construction image is missing from the front page of staging. I mentioned it to Maren the other day, and the next time I looked it had been restored. But now it's missing again. So anyway, just in case :-) All best, brynn

Needed: Board Executive Secretary volunteer
by Bryce Harrington 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

We're about to enter a busy period for the board. We've got the hackfest coming up, a new charter to decide on and document, a board election to hold, and more. I'm finding myself to be a bit of a bottleneck for proceeding on these items - partly due to a need to ensure everything's properly documented. At Martin Owen's suggestion, I'd like to ask for a volunteer to help me out with various documentarian tasks, such as: * posting news items to the website about board activities * formatting documents into HTML for the website * uploading PDF documents to the website * ensure meeting minutes are posted * drafting vote proposals * copyediting You'll be working closely with me. I don't think it is going to require a huge time commitment - perhaps several hours a week - but I do need someone I can hand stuff off to and rely on to ensure it gets done. In particular, you'll be helping me build out the Governance area of our main website (under the About menu), with various legal documents, policies, procedures, financial docs, meeting minutes, and so on. If you're interested, please contact me off list. Thanks, Bryce

Website Language Additions
by Martin Owens 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Hey WebDevs, Now that Maren has fixed the language selection issues we were having/ Both the redirect on missing pages and the error with news and search page urls with new languages. We have the opportunity to configure a short admin side list of languages. This is more of a feature request/definition but it would work like this: A list of all languages, their english names and their translated names (just in case they're missing from the core pot) a checkbox for if we want them to be hidden from the menu. We can do this where we want auto detection to pick a language, but not display every language possible in the menu. (or we could have a 'more languages...' link at the bottom) The service would still need restarting to take advantage of the new language, much in the same way as menu updates have to refresh the cache. Thoughts? Martin,

Code of Conduct Vote
by Martin Owens 13 Feb '15

13 Feb '15

Dear Board, The website's code of conduct text needs redrafting and formally voting on. It should be a document reflecting the social norms we have and that these would be in force on the website with moderation and art submissions. This is what we have so far, it's a bit of a fragment paste bin at the moment: https://inkscape.org/en/community/coc/ We could do with the help from a friendly inkscape docs contributor to draft it into something usable as well as the inkscape board to ratify it with a vote. Thanks for all your help. Best Regards, Martin Owens
