Re: [Inkscape-translator] [Inkscape-docs] Dead links
Thanks, Brynn! (forwarding to translators list).
The idea about including "If you'd like to see your site listed here, please let us know in a new bug report at launchpad [https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web]. Also please notify us when the URL changes or you spot a dead link, so we can keep the page current."
is good - go ahead, if you like!
Kind regards, Maren

Ok, here's the rundown, if anyone is interested.
Removed because either the site is gone, or it's no longer about Inkscape or SVG or vector graphics: -- baked babies -- cube hoboes -- 17 deg
For all the others, this page originally came from a wiki page, where anyone who wanted to join the mailing list, to ask for edit creds, could get them. So a large percentage of these were posted by the artist themselves.
For all the cases where the URL has changed, the artist has provided redirects, so that the content still shows up. I never would have known the address had changed, if it hadn't been pointed out. I'm kind of feeling like if the artist is caring enough, they can ask for the link to be updated. But I'll change them, if that's what everyone wants. Or anyone else edit, as well.
I don't know though. Perhaps since the paradigm has kind of changed, to where "the website team" is doing the editing, there should be some mechanism for deciding which sites deserve to be there?
Maybe something like "If you'd like to see your site listed here, please contact...." at the bottom. Or maybe even at the top? Although that might have to include "please notify us when the URL changes, so we can keep the page current". Just a thought?
For the misspelling of "presents" - it's likely the artist misspelled it to begin with. I honestly can't remember if I retyped, or simply copy/pasted (although if I had to guess, I would say I copied it, and just didn't notice the misspelling). After perusing the site (which is not easy to navigate and I find very confusing), it appears the SVG content only appears in the archive. Now he's apparently using videos to tell the story of his comic. Perhaps it's not even worth keeping, I'm not sure. Or maybe should just link to the archive?
Anyway, that's the current situation.

PS - Maren, you can notify translators -- basically just 3 lines to delete.

I've been trying to keep this page up to date, ever since I first created it (from original wiki page) although it probably has been 6 months since my last update. I'll fix them asap!
Thanks, brynn

Hi Sylvain,

Some links have died in the « Around the Internet » list:
- Baked Babies
- cube hobo web comic
I couldn't find them on the Internet either. Should we remove them?
Also, ‘PixelPalaces pressents:’, shouldn't it be ‘PixelPalaces presents:’? (And it's a bit hard to find the comic sometimes.)
Some sites listed on the same page have moved:
- Modelshop (.com → .fr)
- 17deg.com
- Gatonegro deseño
- Sune Donath
The links should be updated, shouldn't they?
- Thanks for checking :) Don't hesitate to fix these, Sylvain. If you
do, either tell us all exactly which changes you made, so other languages can be updated by their respective translators, or, if you have the time, you can also just correct / delete the entries in the other languages (for links, this shouldn't pose any language problems).
Also, in this section: https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/testing/#inkscape-testers there are three links which lead nowhere. And the questions at the end are a bit weird. At the end of the introduction of the page, there was also a paragraph: ‘? Follow up’; I didn't understand what it meant and I removed it. This page is probably missing some finalization…
https://inkscape.org/en/contribute/to-do-list/
If you can find someone who's knowledgeable enough to update the page and willing to do it, that would be great...
For contents questions, please always include the docs mailing list, so editors are kept in the loop, too.
Kind regards, Maren
