Hello inkscape community:
Thank you for inkscape. I have a few comments/questions.
- Multi-page documents? My wife made a brochure but didn't like having to
have two separate files for the outside and inside of her document. Does the file format allow multiple pages? And where is this documented?
The fileformat allows for multiple pages, but Inkscape presently does not have the capability to edit such files. This feature will probably get added eventually, but it's not in the near term plans.
Some people have good results at using Scribus; you can insert SVG created with Inkscape into Scribus for further layout and publishing.
- I want to have my grid and other measurements to be in inches. Where
can the default units be defined so when I start up inkscape it shows inches? Where is this documented? (I know how to change it for one session or per document but I want it as the default -- and should not require recompiling.)
This may not be implemented. We do not have documentation about managing units or the grid; if you'd be interested in writing something up that'd be a great addition.
- My wife used to use commercial and proprietary software that had
wizards and easy interface for making brochures and greeting cards. Using inkscape in addition to openclipart is a substitute, but still all the layout must be done, images found and saved, resized, etc.
Any thoughts on a wizard or a simple interface to help?
Not that I know of. As I mentioned above, you may find it useful to put some time into learning Scribus. It provides a more complete featureset for doing printing, brochures, etc. However, you'll need to put some time into learning it, and the interface is distinctly different from Inkscape, so be forewarned about that. However, I've heard good comments about it from professional printers, so it may be well worth the time.

Bryce, this was discussed on the list, and is prominently described in the release notes which you recently edited...

Bulia, the release notes don't count as user documentation. It's not listed in the man page or in the tutorials, which is I think what the user was asking.

I did not say that it was documented; I only responded to your saying that it "may not be implemented". It is.
