Website News: 1.3beta0 released! / String freeze in a few days
by Maren Hachmann 04 Jun '23

04 Jun '23

Hi Translators, we've just released the beta for Inkscape 1.3, and also published a news article for it: http://www.inkscape.org/news/2023/05/30/inkscape-reveals-tools-organizing-e… If you are a website translator and have a little bit of time, please help by translating the article to your language! -------------------------------- About translating for Inkscape 1.3: The bulk of the changes is now in, but string freeze will officially only start in a few days (expected for next Monday). So if you'd like to start on translations, you can, but expect some smaller changes to still happen, that may invalidate (fuzzy-fy) some of your translations. Note that now two branches exist again, 'master' and '1.3.x'. Remember to ask for your translations to be included in both, and to check whether that has actually happened. I'll update links on the Wiki / translation statistics after the official string freeze. Thanks everyone! Maren

Website: New news article / General status info
by Maren Hachmann 27 May '23

27 May '23

Hi all, there's a new news article available for translation on the inkscape.org website: https://inkscape.org/news/2023/05/23/meet-inkscapes-new-about-screen-artist/ It has lots and lots of html formatting / CSS styling (looks awesome, but makes translating harder), so please be careful and switch to source mode, if you need to! ------------------ On another note, I've decided that I'm done with reviewing strings for 1.3, and opened a few merge requests to various Inkscape repositories. They are not merged yet, and they touch many strings. I'll let you know when it's all in and strings are stable enough to translate. ------------------ The docs repository has not been updated yet for 1.3. If someone would like to help by reading through the tutorials to check whether any changes are required, please do and let us know in an issue for the docs repo if there is something that needs to be updated for 1.3! https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-docs/documentation Kind Regards Maren

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Branching and stuff

Correction: We DO expect many of the new strings to change until then, I'm in the process of reviewing and trying to understand those. I'm hoping to have good developer support for this task, as has been the case with those that I've already tackled.

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
