Newbie - walk cycle - Inkscape Users

29 May 2015

      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?
Thank you, Leonardo Paradox

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:

-- 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.
Martin,

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.
