Ohhh---alas that right around then is absolutely the *worst* time for me to be travelling! Theoretically, I should be utterly sleep deprived and in the throes of newborn baby-care.
well I can fully understand that you are busy then, at this time. Good luck with your baby!
I still hope we find an Inkscape developer or skilled user to teach a course or make a presentation on the current status/discussions regarding new features or developments.
So maybe you can help us find a person.
I also see a few japanese-sounding names in the developer list:
Yukihiro Nakai Mitsuru Oka Masatake Yamato
Are those japanese names? If yes, are they living in Japan?
(Otherwise, while I can't claim to be absolutely expert with Inkscape, i do have a solid background in Illustrator, familiarity with a handful of other vector design tools (and a solid background in raster tools as well), as well as having learned Japanese as a first language (it's not as good as my English, though!))
