Website Update

Dear fellow website translators, the inkscape.org website has been updated with a lot of new functionality. You can read about the main changes for non-editors here in Martin's summary for the developer mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/34807473/ For translators and editors, there are a few changes about how the website works, too - for example, missing pages are now filled in automatically with the English contents as a fallback. This means that I am going to remove all those copied English pages in non-English languages, and very few very outdated translations, so that the contents will be current and available for all languages, even if only in English. All website translators are now part of the new, official translators team, and we have our own little section on the website, with our own gallery and (soon) chat: https://inkscape.org/de/*translator I will make a writeup with all the main changes and tricks for you soon and update the Wiki page to reflect the new status. Unfortunately, currently, the website has severe performance issues (every action takes about one minute to complete), and there may also be some database problems. Our web team is working on getting this resolved. I will update you when the site is ready to be 'attacked' by us again - currently, editing is very trying for one's patience ;) Kind regards, Maren

Wrong manipulation

Hello, Big mistake today: I wanted to import the current version of https://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/ from English to French but my favorite method is always to delete and copy… But in fact I deleted the content for all languages! Could you restore it, please? -- Sylvain

Website update: Comics added

Dear website translators, Brynn added a new item to the comic section on the "Around the internet" page: https://inkscape.org/en/community/inkscape-around-internet/ (see screenshot). This is just a really tiny edit - something for your lunch break, maybe ;) ? Would be a pity if visitors missed out on these comics ;) Thank you, kind regards, Maren
