Logo "contest"
by Alberto Simões
Hi
First, not a contest because I can't offer anything to the winner.
Just to be "the winner". Next, I am just announcing this here, at
inkscape users list. Mainly because I want a vectorial logo, but also
because I am an inkscape user and love it (but I do not know how to
draw anything).
Ok, what is the "contest"?
I am involved in a project of an 'open dictionary' (dicionário aberto
in Portuguese) and I would like to have a logo for it. The actual page
is available at http://dicionario-aberto.net and is just in Portuguese
(and will be that way forever), but I'll create a page with the
received logos (if anyone contribute).
We will choose the logo by 13 May.
Cheers
Alberto

Native Inkscape on OS X
by Eric Bednarz
Hi,
I wonder what the current status of a native Inkscape version for OS X
(ever since the first announced good news) is (the wiki doesn't really
help [me, at least]).
To cut it short:
* I love Inkscape
* OS X is my primary development platform these days (I do have
flavours of Windows and GNU/Linux available for testing and special
tasks, I'd like to cut that down to testing)
* I want my Intuos tablet to work properly with the calligraphy tool
(did I mention that I love Inkscape?)
* I'd rather pump € worth of a CS3 Illustrator (missed opportunity,
as far as I'm concerned ;-) license into a worhtwhile project, if that
helps (I don't drink beer anyway [0] :-)
[0] Seriously, I encourage everyone thinking about the issue if you can
afford it at all -- personally, I'm not exactly getting rich but
wealthy enough to start thinking about it. I've gotten more out of
free software (or whatever your label is) than I could ever pay
back, which is not say that I shouldn't pay back at all, anywhere.
Now that I could afford Adobe products, I'd rather invest into
freedom (and to me, there are no 'leechers', 'undecided
professionals' maybe, which is unconditionally fine :).
Thanks,
Eric

Setting Fill for a Self-Intersecting Path
by Aaron Elmquist
Here's the deal.
I have a bezzer curve that loops back on itself. Basically I drew the out
line of a very curvy pipe. When I set the fill the areas that overlap are
transparent.
Any simple fixes for something like this?
I think I could start pushing nodes around and join/cut them, but then I'd
loose the outline for the stroke represent that part of this is in the
foreground while the rest is behind it.

Bulleted lists in Inkscape? Hanging indents?
by Niall Mansfield
I want to create a bulleted list in an Inkscape document,
along the lines of
* the quick brown fox
jumped over the lazy dog
* lazy dog quick jumped over
* the quick brown fox
jumped over the lazy dog
If I have to insert the bullet symbols by hand,
that's OK (though not ideal) but is there any way
to get the hanging indent on the paragraphs? (In
case the layout of this post gets messed up, the list items
items should just like the standard bulleted lists
on an HTML page.)
Thanks,
Niall

Creating blood spatter.
by John R. Culleton
For the cover of a book of detective fiction I want to create an
irregular figure like a blood stain or spatter. Can I do this in
Inkscape? (Using real blood and a camera was considered but rejected
because of lack of a donor :)
