2 new pages for website, another 1 planned
Hi Friends, We have 2 new webpages for the website, should anyone have any comments or suggestions. Also, they are ready to be translated.
1 -- In the Contribute section: https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/to-do-list/ Community To-Do List. This is a list of jobs that are needed by all parts of the community. It's not about new features or bugs, but for jobs that definitely need to be done, to move the project forward. If anyone has any jobs like this, which they would like the wider community to know about, you're welcome to add them to the list. If you don't have edit permissions on the website, you could either request to have, or contact the website team to have your info listed.
2 -- In the Learn section: https://inkscape.org/en/learn/animation/ Animation. This is to help answer the many questions which are posted in forums and elsewhere, about animation and Inkscape. While I searched (and researched) quite diligently, and also had help from Maren, there may be some apps out there that I didn't find. Especially I feel like I might not have covered the Scripting and Markup section very well, since I have barely a general grasp of that area myself. So any comments or suggestions will be very welcome.
Next I'll be working on a page for a curated list of Inkscape extensions ("curated" meaning that I'll attempt determine which versions of Inkscape each extension works on, which come with Inkscape/which need to be installed, and including current download and contact info for each, etc.). Eventually we hope to have them all on Add-ons page (https://inkscape.org/en/download/addons/) but for now, they will just be listed in a table, maybe something like the table on the To-Do List page. If anyone has any comments or suggestions about that, I will welcome them :-)
All best, brynn

This pages looks great. A good addition to the website.

While the Learn menu doesn't contain any other specific topics, I'm willing to see where this topic goes. If it's good at reducing the questions about animation then I say we keep it as an exception. Otherwise we should think about a topics section as we perhaps link parts of the manual in (much later! maybe next year)

This is a great start Brynn, and looks like lot of hard work on your part. Thanks a lot for putting together and doing the research on these items. Crafting website content can be quite a bit of research and a tiny bit f writing to do it well and I think you have done it well here.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

When we start to have a lot of tutorials (well, any tutorials) there may become a need to categorize them. So while it's not really a tutorial, I could see it in a larger category about animation, alongside tutorials.
Or Topics sounds interesting too :-)
