Hi Maren, I did a little searching, but then I wanted to see the overview that you were going to write, to get some hints about some different search terms. (I'm not very knowledgeable about this.) So far, I've found a few tutorials (on writing SVG). Although I agree that we probably want to limit the "unofficial links", as much as possible. Martin replied to me privately (for some reason), saying he didn't think a new menu item is needed, and that he thinks the new page about SVG should go in Develop menu. It sounds like the page should have 2 sections: How Inkscape Uses SVG2 and Learn SVG.
All best, brynn
PS -- Either I was once again guilty of writing too long of an email, or simply no one knows what book is referenced in my DDG search, which found this description of the Learn SVG website.
"A site for the book Learn SVG: The Web Graphics Standard, which is a beginner-level book presented in a workbook-like format, covering the main aspects of SVG. Includes examples and tutorials."
I can't find that book mentioned anywhere on that site. Also, there is more content on learnsvg.org domain, with perhaps the most important content http://learnsvg.com/tutorials/tutorialBasics/ which is also not linked (not that I could find). It seems like a good site, but certainly lacking some vital navigation! OH!! I found it. I don't know why in the world a website set up to accompany a book, doesn't have a link to the book *anywhere* on the site!! But here it is: -- free PDF download: http://www.scribd.com/doc/58271695/Learn-SVG -- purchase: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5485/Learn-SVG-The-Web-Graphics-Standard Those should probably go on Books and Manuals page?
All best :-)

Hi Brynn,
finally, I'm back and have some time to write something up.
Ok :-)
I'm about to go offline for now. But I'll plan on doing some
searching, the
next time I'm back online, and I'll look for a new page with intro
text, if
you can get it started, Maren. And then Maren and I can collaborate from there. Maybe during my search I'll get some ideas about organizing the page. It may end up being just a handful of links, but....well, as we've said, at least it will be a start.
Do you already have a list of links which should be included in the SVG page and/or the SVG animation page? And has there been any progress on where those pages should end up? It's also possible to move a page after it has been created, so if we don't know where to put it yet, it's not so problematic (Although it would help to know the intended audience of a text before writing it...) Just don't put it in the menu before it is finished (the little red/green sign at the end of the row in the pages list should be red), and don't link to it before we know where it will live.
uh-oh.....could the site, the django part handle some simple animation of SVG?....maybe you guys
would
have to set up that part of the page, since I don't understand a lot of those django plugins?
- I think that should work just fine. It only depends on browser
support, but not on the website. A js-based animation made with sozi can be viewed by clicking the 'view' button: http://staging.inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/19/ . I copied Tav's SMIL/CSS animations from his page http://tavmjong.free.fr/SVG/ANIMATION/ to check, as I didn't have any: a SMIL animation can be viewed directly, even in the gallery view; a CSS based animation can be viewed with the view button.
