Dear users. If you'd like to help inkscape in a small way, we require a piece of news to be written/edited for the recent hackfest. It's an exciting event where inkscape developers got together to talk about the future of inkscape. The job involves going to some of the attendees on irc or via email and conducting a small interview. Use questions you yourself would be interested in hearing about and construct a 200-400 word article. Multi language versions acceptable.
Please respond in public on the list if you're interested.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

I like the idea of having a user put together a short news article.
I should mention that I am putting together a lengthy summary of the meeting. We covered quite a bit so it is taking some time.

Thanks for the update Tav, looking forward to seeing it. Can you give a rough eta?

A couple of days.
Ah-ha! I never have even read this thread, because I don't know what the title even means.
Some questions: -- Where will the article be seen or published? On the website? -- If not the website, what's the targeted audience?
I would enjoy doing this, to explain to other people with my level of tech-savvy-ness. However, if a more technical content is needed.....well, as I said, I don't even know what the title of this thread means....so I would not be the best person for the job, in that case.
But I am curious :-)

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.
Martin,
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.

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.
Thanks Jabier. That will be very helpful!
Maybe I will contact you first, and that might help me find the places to focus on, when I interview others.
Really, I should be able to have this ready within a week to 10 days, barring any unexpected distractions.
All best, brynn
