It is possible to generate a animated gif on Inkscape ?
If yes, please tell me the basic steps.
Sincerely

Not directly from Inkscape.
Export each future gif frame as a separate PNG file from Inkscape, open all of them as layers in GIMP, arrange them, turn them to indexed bitmap (Image - Mode - Indexed...), then export to GIF.

Thank you very much Alex.

Yes and No :p

You can create each frame for the animation as a separate drawing, save as distinct PNGs, import as layers in GIMP, reduce to 256 colours and save as animated GIF.
The benefit in creating the frames in Inkscape is that you can easily modify one frame to get the next one.
Thank you very much, but now it is too fast.
I did a 2 frame gif (as you can see attached)

We are getting very offtopic, as this is a GIMP trick: you can reduce the file size with about 20% (this is very important for web) using some optimization: GIMP -> Filters -> Animation -> Optimize (for GIF), see the attachment
Nicu the problem was solved.
The new version of Gimp does not need to make any index formatting. We just need paste the two layers and try to save as gif and the Gimp ask us about the delay of each frame on saving.
Thank you for all advices.

It was not a problem, only an advice on hot to get the maximum from GIMP

This is not a new feature, it was possible to work your way for a long time. But if you transform manually from true color to indexed GIMP will give a dialog for setting some parameters, like the dithering method or colour number, where you can control how the image will be degraded. http://gug.sunsite.dk/tutorials/tomcat15/
Also, the optimization filter is optional, in the end the file will look just the same, but its size may be larger or smaller.
Thank you for all advices.

There is a timing section where you export the animated GIF from The GIMP. You can set this as a per-frame change, or an 'everything else' delay on the save dialog.
