Inkscape Project Status
by Bryce Harrington 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Just to give some visibility into some of the work bubbling away these days: Cairo renderer: Bulia has taken point on investigation of conversion to Cairo. Some tough problems have been uncovered but we're gaining a clearer picture of what needs done. Presently this looks like it will require an all at once brute force approach, rather than incremental refactoring. If so, we'll need to reach a decision on how to undertake that while minimizing disruption to SVN HEAD users. Build system: There is definitely a concensus that our current build system sucks. Options include CMAKE, Bob's buildtool, or just a cleaned up automake. We really need to have interested parties mind meld and find a single solution. Version control system: Mental has been experimenting with git and trying to get it to operate with svn. This study is still very early on, but if it works out well, one day we may begin encouraging developers to use git. Bug tracking: I have been experimenting with use of Mantis with the goal of replacing our SF bug tracker. It looks good, but the principle issue is how to migrate the bugs and their history from SF to Mantis. I'm also interested in seeing if it can be combined well with Drupal, maybe along with Pootle. Any drupalheads out there? Manual: We've got a good unofficial non-free manual/book and several [semi-]official incomplete free manuals. There is discussion about if efforts can be combined to produce a good official free manual. Anyway, I've probably missed something, but I think that covers the pending changes that are percolating. Most of these would benefit from discussion, so we can make sure there is a rough concensus favoring the change - so if you have concerns about any of these changes, now's a good chance to bring 'em up.

Last call for translations' updates for 0.45
by Josef Vybiral 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hello fellow translators, this is the last call before we mark 0.45 as final. Please, if you still have got any updates to translations for 0.45 left, put them to the sf.net patch tracker and assign them to me(cwebb) or Arpad. We will apply them as soon as possible to get the release on time. So far we increased the number of significantly translated files to 27 which is really good number. And if my memory does not fail on me, there is at least one translation left, the Esperanto one :) Thanks everyone for your hard work. Sincerely Josef Vybíral a.k.a cornelius

Some new languages with (a few) translated strings
by Colin Marquardt 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hi, Rosetta has some new languages for Inkscape at https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/inkscape/+pots/ink… Worthwhile maybe be en_AU, eo, id, ro. However, while I have an account on launchpad and tried to export the po files, the web interface told me that I'd get e-mails which didn't arrive yet, a few hours since requesting them. Maybe someone else can try that too. Cheers Colin

Hello translators, I just started translated the FAQ <http://wiki.inkscape.org:8080/wiki/index.php/FrFAQ> in french, but I'm not sure how I should translate "regular users" in question 1.4. Any idea ? Thanks for your help, and feel free to review what I've written so far. Romain

tutorial-tips.xml
by Alexandre Prokoudine 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hi, Just to make sure we don't screw up with tutorials. Yesterday tutorial-tips.xml was updated to fix mentioning Gaussian blur as a not available feature. The change is tiny -- just 2 or 3 sentences. If you haven't updated your translation and you still have time for it, please do so. If you won't be in time, we will still have 0.45.1, I guess ;-) Alexandre

Otherwise we'll hopefully get 0.45.0 final out tomorrow or Saturday. Bryce
