Re: [Inkscape-user] contribute to graphics research!
Hi bulia, Joshua, and all:
I apologize for my delay in replying to your messages. I just got back from the UIST conference, where I met many UI researchers -- and fellow Inkscape users.
Thanks for your enthusiasm about the undo-saving feature! We would like to release the code for this for all the reasons you mentioned: to comply with the GPL, to get users across platforms, and ultimately to contribute to the Inkscape project. [We'd also welcome help identifying and fixing bugs. :)] What is the best way to do this? As the number of files touched is small, perhaps the fastest is to post these on our website, then work on adding the changes to the SVN trunk. Thanks for your invitation to do so.

This sounds like a very nice addition. We (developers) actually were thinking about adding something like that, as an option. Would you consider adding your patch to the SVN trunk so it becomes part of the official Inkscape releases? For users, persistent undo is an important enough feature by itself, with or without helping your graphics research :) And if you keep working on it to add more features like selective undo, this is much better to do in the main trunk.

Yes, I think the best is to post the initial patch for our review, and once it's accepted, we will give SVN access to you so you can fix bugs, implement features, and generally improve the code directly.

Hi, I've posted the source (and diff files) for the persistent undo (undo saving) feature on our website:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/sarasu/history
The serializer/deserializer borrows heavily from the existing whiteboard code by David Yip. Thanks to David and other authors for allowing us to build on their contribution.
Please remember that our code was written for research use, and we realize that it requires much clean-up before release. I'm posting it now in response to requests but hope to add a cleaner version to the trunk in the future. Please use this version at your own risk!
Again, if you have downloaded the .exe, we'd love to receive your history files to help us improve the design. Thanks!
Sara
Sara,
Thank you for release this I glad to be able to try this out. I'm not sure who is going to handle the review be i'm willing to help. As long as the patch is not a huge mess it will most likely be merge and small things like style might have to be fixed but then you will be able to make those changes in trunk.
Thank you again.
