- I like that, Brynn! Jeremy, what do you think about helping with this?
@Sylvain: The purpose of the page is not of encyclopedic nature. People could use Wikipedia for that or just google it.
We are specifically looking for something that will help us in our day-to-day support-giving work.
The requirements for that are: easy, quick read / quick view, nice-looking, engaging, fitting to the Inkscape project (maybe with Inkscape mascot, not comparing to other specific software, stress on things people will wonder about when using Inkscape for the first time), translatable.
Kind Regards, Maren
