New Tutorial: Making Icons with Inkscape
"Howdy-Ho, Vector-eenos,"
When I First started using Inkscape a few months ago, I searched for a tutorial that would help me understand how to accomplish something with Inkscape, a practical tutorial. Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but I found very few of them at the beginner level. When I start to learn something new, I like to have a goal in mind, so I have something to work towards.
Well as luck (or God ;) would have it, an opportunity surfaced for me, I was invited to contribute an icon to the pool of candidates for the Ardour free DAW (http://ardour.org)
"This is my chance to write a tutorial at the same time, so others could benefit from my learning experience", was the thought. So I snapped some screenshots, fired up vim, and lo and behold, here I am writing this letter.
My tutorial is illustrated and available at : http://bennyp.no-ip.org/new/inktut.php

Enjoy!!

Excellent work Ben!
Btw, have a look at Help -> Tutorials in Inkscape for some other tutorials. If you'd be interested in making some new tutorials to put there, we definitely encourage it. Look here:
http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?TutorialIdeas
We've also got a process for adding tutorials, although I'm not sure where the documentation on how to do this is... But they go into your Inkscape share directory (on linux, it's in /usr/share/inkscape/tutorials/)

Yeah, it would be great for someone to write some help up for how to make tutorials on the wiki using the new method with docbook, etc.

Hmmm, so you went THAT far with your Ardour+Hydrogen tutorial :)
Nice work, but I wonder if you used a more recent version with on-canvas gradient tool.

The tutorial is nice, but it's a pity that it shows the old gradient editing interface via the dialog. In 0.42 that old method does not work anymore, there's a much more convenient method by dragging handles on canvas. If you could rework it with that in mind it would be perfect.
I installed 0.42 on my gentoo box and redid the screenies, I also changed a few sentences to match http://out-of-order.ca/lo/inktut.php
