Hey All, I think the Inkscapers group on DeviantArt (http://inkscapers.deviantart.com/) is underused. Scislac made me a moderator some time ago, but the configuration of the group gives little opportunity to develop the group--not that I know much about DA groups

I would like to help build up the popularity of the group if I could have

access elevated to explore its setup. I'm hoping Scislac is reading this mailing list or that someone can pass on my request. Cheers microUgly -- View this message in context:

Thanks, Josh.  I don't want to interfere with any intentions you had with the group, but it's been pretty static and I would enjoy trying to make it more active.

BTW, the deviantArt guys themselves are working on various improvements and such to things we may care about. Some was mentioned at the Libre Graphics Meeting. I think Josh is the best guy to include as the main communication conduit (aka cc him on mails and such), but hopefully soon we will be able to gain more from DA groups. The general sentiment they expressed on this was that they realize that they can help their users by improving the area and making the service itself support some things that individual groups were doing in ad-hoc ways on their own. So it seems like a good time to bring a bit more thought and focus (as you have) to the DA group. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.

This might sound a silly questions but could someone tell me what deviantart is please ?   --- On Sun, 15/5/11, microUgly <drworm@...2123...> wrote: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.

I've been on dA for a little while now, and regularly submit my Inkscape-drawn comics to several groups. Despite having joined the Inkscapers group some time ago, I've never submitted to it as it always gave the impression of being a showcase of works that were by invitation only. If it's to be opened up for anyone to submit to, a clear message (and some rules) on the main page would be a good first step. I would also increase the number of folders a little further, or broaden their names a little. My first though was where my webcomic would go: it's not a caricature. It's potentially a "Scene", but will that result in it being muddled up with landscapes or still life? "People n Portraits"? Possibly, but that doesn't really fit either. And how much of a piece has to be Inkscape-created for it to qualify? A little final touching up in The GIMP is probably okay, but where do you draw the line? Is it a showcase of what can be done in Inkscape alone, or what can be done with Inkscape as part of a larger workflow? And if it's the latter, should it be a requirement for artists to mention their other tools, so as not to mislead people as to what Inkscape is capable of? Opening up this group is a great idea, but it's probably worth taking a look at some other similar groups first to see what they do.

> And how much of a piece has to be Inkscape-created for it to qualify? I personally don't feel it has to be 100%. As long as it's usage is not insignificant it will be accepted into favourites. But because the Gallery is for exceptional Inkscape work, ideally it would need to be predominately Inkscape. It's subjective.
