Hi all! Thank you Brynn for your intro and welcoming
me back to the community 😊 it's great to be
back and you can count me in all Inkscape activities except
programming :) Some years ago I used to know every little
detail happening around Inkscape development and in the
community. I wasn't very vocal on the lists, mainly because I'm
not a programmer and couldn't contribute that way, and there
didn't seem to be a lot of non-programming discussions, but I
read all the news, triaged bugs in the tracker, compiled nightly
builds often and tested my behind off. I also helped in the
forum, at first with the usual questions about using Inkscape,
since I knew a lot of tips and tricks, and later fighting spam
:p I probably won't be able to commit as much
time now, since I'm not giving up on Drupal, but I hope to come
close. I can block a certain number of hours to Inkscape each
week. I'd love it if you (devs, forum and website committee,
users) would steer the efforts around website, forum and
user community in general. Every project needs more users, a
larger and more active community. But setting a more specific goal
can better the chances of success and clarify which areas are more
beneficial to focus on.
I hope you don't mind me opening with a bag of questions instead
of an actionable plan, I haven't forgotten the "code first, ask
questions later" guideline, but with this type of work questions
are the proper procedure to start with in order to achieve results
more efficiently. Areas where I can help are the forum (installation, migration?
and as a mod), website (limited), marketing and branding, FLOSS
manual, and the usual testing and bug tracking. Let me know if you
think I should focus more on some and less on the other areas. I can't not mention Tav's manual, to continue on Brynn's thought.
That manual was what brought me to Inkscape and made me stick with
it, and it made me skilful. (I'm also a proud owner of the printed
version, hefty book Tav in many ways!) And then it makes sense to ask: What is the usual way users
discover Inkscape? What makes them stick? Thank you again for welcoming me back, I hope we boost Inkscape
community in the next year! Mihaela aka prkos On 09.10.2016 17:56, Brynn wrote:
