Hi Brynn,
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.
- - The website and book are in now, and I've gotten feedback from Tav
and adapted the page, so you can now add the still missing tutorials ;)
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.
- - To me, Learn also makes more sense, as it's geared towards a more
general audience - not only Inkscape developers want to make their
pictures move ;)
Regards,
Maren

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

Hi again, This is a reply to the last msg in the Where does
this belong
thread. But I think that topic has ended, and has now become more
about the new page. I hope it's ok to start a new thread like this.
1.I was just looking at the new About SVG page that
Maren
started, which looks awesome! The one thing that I wonder about is
the section of code in the middle. It's approx 5.5 pages long, on
my screen. Would it be possible to make the text smaller (say by 2
to 4 pts), so that it takes up less space? Or show less of the code?
Or maybe put it on another page, and link to it? Or have a very
small block, say 100 or 200 pixels square, and when you either click,
or mouseover, it expands down?
I completely understand the purpose of showing it, and it's a
good thing. But after 2 or 3 page-downs, I wonder if visitors will
think that's the end of the page, and move on? Plus, I imagine the
How does Inkscape use SVG section could be fairly long, as well.
2.Since we can't make the links yet, I guess I'll just
put the
URL for each link, on the draft page.
3.Now that we have this draft on staging, is there any
idea
when it will go up on live? I ask, because I'm anxious to start a
page for animation topics, but want to see this through first.
4.Does anyone know who might be responsible for the
Learn SVG
site, or at least who put it on the Books page? It still just bugs
me that various parts of that site aren't connected together (via
link from its front page). It's something that makes me think the
site will succumb to bitrot sooner than later (maybe has already
started) and makes me not want to use it. But otherwise, it really
is a nice site.
Thanks, brynn

Hi everyone,
I've started the 'About SVG' page for the 'Develop' submenu
at http://staging.inkscape.org/en/develop/about-svg. There
aren't any links in it yet, because of the plugin links not
being transferable from staging to live. Text formatting
isn't finished yet, either.
The last section, where links to external pages will live, is
your realm, Brynn :)
For the next-to-last section, I would appreciate Tav's and
every other developer's help for prompting me with some
keywords, and probably people will also have additional
remarks for the 'Why...' section.
Improvement / wording / orthography suggestions welcome!
Regards, Maren

I did a little searching, but then I wanted to see the

probably want to limit the unofficial links, as much
as possible. Martin replied to me privately (for some
reason), saying he didn't think a new menu item is
needed, and that he thinks the new page about SVG should
go in Develop menu. It
Re: [Inkscape-docs] About SVG page
Hi again,
Hhmm...well now I'm having 2nd thoughts about adding those
tutorials. Can you look at them, and judge whether they are too
out-of-date? Or do you think they will be about like the book -- still
useful? It's all a bit over my head, especially the math and scripting.
These are the tutorials that share the same domain:
http://learnsvg.com/tutorials/tutorialBasics/
http://learnsvg.com/tutorials/tutorialMath/
http://learnsvg.com/tutorials/tutorialScripting/
It's too bad everything isn't all linked together, like you'd
expect, then we'd only need to link to the front page. But maybe there's a
reason?
Thanks :-)
