I'm attempting for the first time to animate a walk cycle in Inkscape and I need some general advice on how to go about it. Is Inkscape the best free program to use for 2d animation, or should I use gimp? And after that is decided, how should I approach this task? And more specifically, how do I keep the leg a uniform thickness when changing its position?

Hi Friends, I had an error message I haven't seen before, while working with Inkscape, and it seemed to be fairly serious. It did not technically
crash,
but it effectively crashed not just Inkscape, but I had to restart my computer! I wonder if I should make a bug report for it?
We already have a report for it:
- Bug #1122374 ?Inkscape trunk crashes while working with text tool? https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1122374
The reason I wonder, instead of just making a new report, isthat I
don't have a file to offer. I did manage to grab a screenshot though,
which
is attached. So you can at least see the error message. Otherwise all I have is my verbal explanation. Briefly, after the error msg, anything and everything on my
screen
was sort of frozen in place. For example, when I moved the error msg
over,
to be able to save and close windows, it sort of just smeared what looked like 15 or 20 copies of the error message across the screen (just like if you spread out a deck of cards across a table). If I maximized a window from the taskbar, it became frozen there. Even after I closed it, it was still there. And somehow, the font menu remained on top of everything (I was using the Text tool at the time of the error message). I managed to close everything out from the taskbar, and restart,
and
now I'm back to normal. There are a lot of details I've left out,
because I
know a lot of people don't like to read long messages on the mailing
list.
But I'll be glad to write out all the details, if anyone is interested
and
can use the info. Or let me know if you want me to write a bug report. Window 7, sp1, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit (EXE installer)

Thanks ~suv. I just added a short comment.
Seems like quite a frustrating bug, that can't be reliably reproduced! Let me know if I can provide any further info or files, logs. Or I'll be glad to do any testing that might be helpful.
All best

Hi again, Everyone, Someone just asked me how the work on this article is going, and I didn't even realize I was supposed to do it. I guess it's because I've never participated in a programming or open development community mailing list before (or any mailing list). Apparently my asking questions about it, and Martin replying constituted a "go ahead". But I thought since there were no further comments directed to me, that you didn't want me to do it, and you were waiting for someone else to offer to do it. So I apologize for the delay, and I'll get to work right away, if you want me to.
If you want me to, is this the correct list of attendees?
Bryce Tav Josh Jabier Krzysztof Alex Amelia insaner/Raphael
I guess there will be no problems contacting them through their list address? Was the agenda outlined here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2015_Topics, fairly well adhered to? Or did things end up going out to other topics as well. I'm thinking of using that as a starting place to compose what questions I want to ask. Although I will also ask each attendee what their unique focus or contribution was, and ask a question or 2 on that. On that wiki page, it looks like some info has been updated since the hackfest, although I have not learned how to read the wiki history (in a really meaningful way) yet. But are some results of the hackfest already mentioned there? In Martin's first msg, he said, "Jabier has provided some information, but no one's stepped forward to help author/edit the idea." Where is that info? Do you mean it's to be included? Or the main idea is just 'write a review/article'? When looking at that 2015 Topics wiki page, it's hard to image writing such a short article as 200 to 400 words (because explaining complex things in simple language sometimes needs a lot of words). Can it go long? Or is that a fairly strict limit?
Thanks. And once again, sorry for misunderstanding.

Some questions: -- Where will the article be seen or published? On the website? -- If not the website, what's the targeted audience?
On the website.
Non technical users.
The more detailed and technical summary can follow, or we can add it to our wiki, launchpad updates or just mailing list. But the core and start or the news article should be user centric. And that's where a user comes in, because they're most likely to know what questions to ask and what to edit out as being too technical.

In Martin's first msg, he said, "Jabier has provided someinformation, but no one's stepped forward to help author/edit the idea." Where is that info? Do you mean it's to be included? Or the main idea
is
I send it in a private mesage from Toronto. Put publicy down:
Extrapolated Arcs: Thinking about a posible improve. We need to code and show to SVG Working Group
Extensions system: We discuss about new extensions system in a way more usable and transparent to the user.
- Centraliced place to extensions/live_effects and maybe filters.
- Allow internal LPE handle multiples styles for each pathvector. Good
idea but need full redone of LPE roots maybe is not a good thing.
- Use images/text as LPE input. Maybe less dificult than previous.
- Improve the way to access to filter/LPE/extensions. Seach, tags,
categories, descriptions, icons...
Marketing: How to get more founds?, speak about colaboration with
http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2015/program/##hong-phuc-dang-towards-open-t... Open discussion.
Accesibility: We meet with Amelia
http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2015/program/#amelia-bellamy-royds-accessibl... about it. She give the main input to the one place filter. Also we speak about switches and languages. We need to coordinate to become inkscape a multilenguage editor, allowig one file for all languages in a webrowser. I propose a solution about this. Use a global document lang switch in editor mode. This means a inkscaper can switch/add/remove... the lang to the document. also is necesary the option to copy contents from other langs or the main one. Because you only see one lang at the same time. Could we use clones? The switch code is done we only need to implement it. Amelia want put his work about how to switch between languages without JavaScript. We also need could define the title and description in a multilingual way.
Font list refresh on the fly. Raphael Roch from insaner.com put our eyes about this. The way to decide is large but is an automatic way, no button to fire it.
