By the way, I just got to documenting the Boolean Operations for users, so if you have any input, now's a good time to mention it -- while I'm thinking about it.

Speaking of documentation, the developers might be interested to know that the .42 release marked a major spike in traffic to the documentation-in-progress I'm making, and has resulted in sustained increase of traffic of three times what it was before the new version.

Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie to Inkscape, but so far am really impressed. It's one hell of a product, even though it's not v1.0 yet.
As with all such projects, it's sometimes hard for us newbies to get to grips with things because of a lack of examples and documentation. Since I've been struggling for a couple of days, I thought I'd write up how to create complex shapes, flow text into shapes and get text to be justified. Clearly, for most users this isn't rocket science, but it might save another new user a bit of time.
All the fun is at http://www.coofercat.com/wiki/InkScape (including, importantly, an SVG example).
If the Inkscape community wants to use my example for anything, then by all means do so. Obviously, correct any mistakes or make improvements along the way!
Cheers,
