Re: [Inkscape-docs] About SVG page
Hi Maren,
Yeah, that shorter section of code really looks better. If we don't want to
have an expandable section, or link to the whole amount of code, maybe just
a note about how to find it, if someone wants to see the whole thing? (e.g.
open it in Inkscape and look at XML Editor, or look at source code in a
browser)
Hah, I have the SVG 2.0 draft on my list, but somehow it didn't make it onto
the page. Although on the other hand, I didn't realize I was finished
completely! I do still want to add the Learn SVG website, and the tutorials
which are on that same domain (although somehow not linked to each other),
if that's ok, as well as the book. I was still hoping to get some more info
about the Learn SVG site, before putting it on About SVG page. But now I'm
thinking I won't be getting anymore info. And I'll just plan on keeping an
eye on the link.
But I'll be happy to start a page on animation topics. It will be fun and
informative :-) Should it be in Learn sub-menu, or Develop? I would think
Learn, but I often don't see the "big picture".
All best,
brynn

Re: [Inkscape-docs] The Graphical Web
Hi Brynn, maybe that question is for the devs' / user mailing list? Last year, Tav gave a talk. So it's probably the devs or some 'power users' who would represent Inkscape / SVG at a conference. Deadline for abstract submission is April 20, btw.

Hi Brynn,
thank you for your feedback!
ad 1)
I was able to shorten it to a bit less than 3 screen heights. The
expanding box would be nice, but we don't have something like that
available currently, I believe. Maybe something for a website feature
request?
ad 3)
No ETA yet. I still need feedback and keywords from Tav. This shouldn't
prevent you from starting with the animation page, though. I can take
care of the rest of this page ('About SVG'), if you would like to proceed.
The link selection you added to the page looks like a really good
selection, I only added the SVG 2.0 draft to the link list, and renamed
two items. Thank you!
Regards,
Maren
