Inkscape 1.3 About Screen Contributor Voting until April 9
by Maren Hachmann 05 Apr '23

Hi Inkscape Contributors! It's that time of the year again :) We invite you to cast your vote on the 5 awesome About Screen Contest submissions that were favorited by 242 voting Community members. For this year's About Screen Contest, we have had 55 submissions from the Community, 49 of which met the requirements (licensing, branding etc.). These are the 5 items they liked the most: * "A long journey“ by Chris Hildenbrand * "Contest“ by Djelita Abderrahmane * "Creative Growth“ by Chris Hildenbrand * "Isometric Madness“ by Denis Kuznetsky * "Portal“ by Milad Moosavi (in alphabetical order) In this two-step selection process, it is now up to us, the Inkscape Contributors, to select the About Screen that we want for Inkscape 1.3. It's going to be a difficult choice, as they are all so cool :D Step 1: ======= Make sure that you are an Inkscape Member (see previous message or link below), and if you're not one yet, apply for membership and ask 3 of your team mates or other contributors whom you have worked with to confirm your membership. More info: https://inkscape.org/*membership/blog/inkscape-signs-new-fsa-sfc/ Step 2: ======= Visit https://inkscape.org/gallery/=artwork/inkscape-13-about-screen-contributor-… and rank the 5 images by clicking on the little circle right below them in order of preference (most liked first). The voting period starts NOW, and ends on April 9, 23:59 UTC. Voting is on the website only. The announcement of the winning entry is planned for April 11. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year's About Screen Contest! Maren

Dear Inkscape Contributors, it's time to make your Inkscape Membership official! With that come voting rights for all kinds of regular contributors - like translators, social media managers, forum moderators, documentation writers, testers, bug managers, ... - (not only developers anymore!). The first occasion we will be using that for is the Contributor Vote for the ongoing About Screen Contest (contributor voting starts tomorrow, and will end on April 9, 23:59 UTC, there will be a separate email for that!), which is also going to be a bit of a test of the membership system for the upcoming Inkscape PLC election. Read all about it here: https://inkscape.org/*membership/blog/inkscape-signs-new-fsa-sfc/ If you have any questions or are looking for people to confirm your membership request, please ask away in the #general rocket.chat channel. In some cases, it will be helpful to state the nature of your contributions to the project, or to approach those directly who know about your contributions. Please approve membership requests of those whom you know to be a contributor by first hand experience, and do not approve other membership requests, as in the worst case, when the person is not a contributor, that can get your own membership revoked. Thank you to the PLC and the SFC for getting that set up for us, to the website team for providing infrastructure for it, and to the Vectors team for writing about it! Maren

Fwd: Translating in a new language

Forwarding, as it may be of general interest: -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: [Inkscape-translator] Translating in a new language Datum: Sun, 26 Mar 2023 15:34:06 +0200 Hi Robert (sorry, had the name wrong in the direct email :-( ), welcome! So, generally, people start translating from the English version, not any other language version, because that is complete, and all other translations are both incomplete, as well as possibly incorrect. For Bosnian, I'd rather take Croatian for comparison, which is much closer to Bosnian. If you need German translations for comparison, too - most translation programs support showing translations in other languages for orientation. You should *not* start from a different language's file, but make your own, if your language does not exist yet. The files to use for your translation and the processes involved are described from https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Interface_translation#Interface_Tr… Please read, and also check out https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Translation_information and subpages for more information. Let us know either here or in the translator chat when you have any questions about what you find there.

Hello, I would like to do a translation into bosnian. I am using from this link: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master/po the german version, so the de.po and started translating it in bosnian. [https://gitlab.com/uploads/-/system/project/avatar/3472737/inkscape.png]<https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master/po> po · master · Inkscape / inkscape · GitLab<https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/tree/master/po> Inkscape vector image editor gitlab.com I would like to ask you, if this is ok for you? And if so, if I should send you my first contribution or should I finish it first and then send it to you? Looking forward to hear from you. Best regards, Robert Cavlina
