translations and images

Hi, Looks like I'm not able to upload any image ("Invalid base directory: /var/www/floss_translat_translate/pub") and I can't get access to the directory with original images (we don't want to duplicate images that have no localizable content, do we?) Could this please be fixed? Alexandre

uniform content
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi, Another thing that really should be fixed is non-uniformness of content in Tools section: every chapter on tools is written in its own way. What generic structure do you envision as best? Alexandre

New Designer
by Bradley Cooper 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi All! I'm a long time user of Inkscape and I'd really like to contribute as much as I can where possible. Most of my illustration work has been done with it. I'm actually a web/interface designer for a fortune 25 company outside philadelphia. I wasn't sure where/how to start even after looking the wiki. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be more than willing to dedicate some time. -- Bradley Cooper | Digital Design | willworkforart.net

illustrations
by Alexandre Prokoudine 25 Jul '08

25 Jul '08

Hi, It's been a while since the BS is over, everybody must be feeling pretty exhausted ;-) There is a number of improvements still to be made. Thus this first in a queue of emails. Here is TODO for illustrations: 1. Work out visual style. 1.1. Color fill. We probably need a more or less fixed (let's say --- recommended) color palette that would take into consideration: a) that shape primitives should look uniformly across manual; b) that printed black and white (or, rather, greyscale) version should look good and colors should differ; c) add your point here ;-) We probably should even try to avoid using many color filled objects unless the purpose is to illustrate some kind of color transition. But I'm not married to this argument, so feel free to attack :-) My suggestion is to stick to Tango palette (which is exactly recommendation, not law). 1.2 Stroke width. Should be 2-5px, maybe? Ideas? 1.3 Size of objects. We probably do not want shape primitives to have a very much different size unless for specific reason. 1.4 Margins. Currently every screenshot has a different set of top/bottom/left/right margins. That means that the space between text and an illustration is different. 1.5 Something that I definitely forgot 2. Improve existing illustrations to match visual style 3. Add missing illustrations. Alexandre
