Hi there, website translators,
we've got an awesome (very favorable to my work ;-) ) and incredibly timely article about the Hackfest last week in Kiel, written by our Vector-on-duty Chris Rogers, on the website.
If you want to know what happened, take a look :) https://inkscape.org/en/news/2018/09/20/inkscape-hackfest-kiel-2018-what-hap...
If you want to help translate it - even better ;-)
I'll start working on the German translation tonight.
@Finlay: Do you have time for that FAQ / Report bugs stuff? Or should I start with it, too?
Kind Regards, Maren
Hi,
Is it wanted that the summary on the main news page included the <h1> heading and the photo at 100%-width? I removed the heading and ordered the photo to resize.
It says that you Maren are the coordinator for the ‘website translation team’. Shouldn’t this be only ‘translation team’? I don’t think we have to refer to the team which is stored in the website database; you are our coordinator event without it.
Regards,
Sylvain

- Yes, I think the heading can be removed. I find the text looks a bit better when it's not on the right of the photo, it seems more readable to me.

- Actually, that was one of the fixes to the article I made - previously it said exactly that. However, the other position is shared between Marc (for merging) and Patrick (for announcing new versions to translators and CI and merging) - at least to my understanding, and I only jump in when I see there's a need, or when there's something I really want to do. I really feel responsible only for website translations coordination, for translating the program/website to German, and for any pet projects I start.

The same for me, but it’s laid out like that on other articles…

OK — :). Does the ‘pet projects’ expression refer to animals or to anything you would manage?
I’ve got some questions about the content of the article.
(1) What is ‘centerline tracing’? Is it vectorizing a line which is at the center?
(2) What are ‘CI translations’? Are these the translations continuous integration features?
(3) ‘Tav has made it possible to wrap a one-line text object with an adjustable handle.’ Can you explain what it consists in?
(4) ‘[Tav] also worked on converting SVG 2 text to SVG 1.1 text for SVG export and back.’ Does ‘back’ mean ‘import’? Can Inkscape manage SVG 2? I don’t understand this either…
(5) ‘Thomas Holder (…) fixed remaining bugs for the y-axis desktop coordinate to match a top-down coordinate system (…).’ Can you explain?
(6) What is the ‘Vibe’ (at the bottom)? -- Sylvain

- We can make improvements :) The photos are quite good (and the one with the 3D glasses is really funny), having them in full width looks right to me.

- No animals, just things I choose to work on because I find them interesting and/or really important for the project.
I’ve got some questions about the content of the article.
- Glad you're asking :)
(1) What is ‘centerline tracing’? Is it vectorizing a line which is at the center?
- It's this: https://github.com/fablabnbg/inkscape-centerline-trace/blob/master/README.md
Just that it's currently still only accessible as that Inkscape extension, but is planned to be included into Inkscape as a real part of the trace dialog. The autotrace libraries are there already in the Inkscape source, but not used.
(2) What are ‘CI translations’? Are these the translations continuous integration features?
- It's more 'CI for translation files'. So automatical updating of pot and po files without requiring a dev to run the update script and commit them.
(3) ‘Tav has made it possible to wrap a one-line text object with an adjustable handle.’ Can you explain what it consists in?
- I haven't seen it yet, it's still in a separate branch that Tav is working on. As I understand that sentence, it means that you click, type your text, and then can use a handle to change its width and height and it will reflow into the changed shape.
(4) ‘[Tav] also worked on converting SVG 2 text to SVG 1.1 text for SVG export and back.’ Does ‘back’ mean ‘import’? Can Inkscape manage SVG 2? I don’t understand this either…
- Conversion from SVG2 text to SVG 1.1 text and the other way around.
The Inkscape development version supports some of the features that will (hopefully) be in SVG2 already, even though the SVG2 standard is not officially released yet.
Export/compatibility to 1.1 text is needed because other renderers may not be able to read SVG2 text properly (yet). Fortunately, having that compatibility can be achieved by just having the SVG2 text specifics wrapped around the SVG 1.1 text, and each version will ignore the specifics for the other version.
(5) ‘Thomas Holder (…) fixed remaining bugs for the y-axis desktop coordinate to match a top-down coordinate system (…).’ Can you explain?
- Origin in Inkscape is now in left upper corner, as it always was in browsers, CSS, HTML, game development and most other digital imagery applications (and in SVG). Before the merge, it was in bottom left corner. Thomas fixed issues with 3D boxes and paint bucket, among other things.
(6) What is the ‘Vibe’ (at the bottom)?
= atmosphere, spirit, mood

On the main news page, it looks weird to me, but let it be so.

Anyway for most questions it just ensures I just comforts me in the idea that my translations are correct. :)

Oh, yeah… Like the gradient mesh, which is already in Inkscape 0.92.

OK, it’s much clearer now! :)

Oh, yeah. The ‘top-down’ expression was foreign to me.
Thank you, -- Sylvain
From my point of view, merging is so "simple" compared to coordination
that I don't really think I deserve much credit for it ☺
