Thanks for asking :)

Keep this documented along with the link to Jerry's article, so you can
hand this over to whomever will polish the page when they have the time.

Kind regards,
 Maren

Hi Maren,
Sounds like no problem for dual license:

"Hey, Brynn. Absolutely, those are fine. GPL 3+ and CC-BY-SA 3.0+

Jerry"

All best,

Hi Brynn,

sorry - yes, please ask for a dual-licencing of his text, so anything we
take from it will be compatible with the website's licencing (CC-By-SA +
GPLv3+).

Re: [Inkscape-docs] more on writing extensions

[Brynn]

Hi Maren,
Sure, I'll ask.  Just want to be clear what I'm asking.  Am I asking 
if we can give the text the 2nd license?  Or if he can give it that license 
for us?  Or if there's a better way to say it?

Thanks,
brynn

Hi Brynn,


good work :)
Just a quick request: Could you ask Jerry for dual-licencing (GPLv3+ and
CC-By-SA), please?

Thank you!

Kind Regards,

Re: [Inkscape-docs] more on writing extensions

[Brynn]

Hi again Everyone,
I've received a positive reply from the 1 article author (Jerry 
Stratton) I was able to contact.  He says he doesn't feel qualified to do 
any of the writing himself, but says we can quote his articles.  Below I've 
quoted from his reply, so I don't get any details wrong about the licensing, 
etc.
So if Xavi, or whoever ends up working on it, maybe some of Jerry's 
articles will be helpful  :-)

All best,
brynn

"All of my Mimsy/hacks code is under the GPL v3, and you are hereby 
officially allowed to use the text from the above-mentioned pages under the 
GPL v3 as well. If you need another license, let me know what you need, and 
I’ll take a look at it. As long as there’s a link back, I expect it will be 
fine.

Hi again,
One of these guys seems to only have tweeter or facebook contacts, 
and I don't have any social media accounts.  If I write the message, can 
someone else send it for me?

Oh, in my analogy, the 'no previous interest' would be in working on the 
website.  I would be trying to "sell" them on the idea to help on the 
website.

Ok, you've convinced me!  I will give it a try.  I now have 4 guides from 3 
authors (including Xavi).  There's a 5th/4th, but the tutorial is outdated, 
and references no-longer-existing wiki page.

I'll let you all know if I get any response.

All best,
brynn

Please do. This kind of outreach is really important at bringing people
together and your helpful interest in the page is a great reason to
reach out.

If people aren't interested, then we can also ask if the content is
licensed under the GPL/Creative Commons license so we can integrate it
into the website. Without a good license, we'd have to link only.

Don't worry about the content exactly. You can guide people on how to
edit the web page or get them in touch with me or Maren etc.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] more on writing extensions

[Brynn]

Oh yeah, that's awesome, Xavi!

If you decide to work on the staging site (and then later the live site), 
I'll be available to answer questions or help if you need it.  The django 
editor is fairly easy to use.  (I can use most of it, and I could not write 
an extension, so it really isn't hard to use :-))

Shall I try to contact the authors of the other 3 articles/guides (2 
authors)?

Thanks,
brynn

PS -- something seems to be wrong with my mail, at the moment, just to let 
you know.  I didn't get Xavi's message, and I haven't gotten the last one I 
sent either (which seems like an hour ago by now) -- hopefully will resolve 
soon...

Re: [Inkscape-docs] more on writing extensions

[Maren Hachmann]

Thanks for offering to help, Xavi :)

Would dual-licencing (CC-By-SA and GPLv3+) be okay for you? That's the
licence for our website contents (not yet mentioned there).

If you'd like to learn how to edit the website, make an account at
staging.inkscape.org, and tell us your user name.

Instructions for website editing are available here:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite

When you've tried it out a little, and feel certain enough to edit the
'real' webpage, get an account at inkscape.org and tell us your user
name there.

Be sure to send a message to the docs list when your changes are ready
to be translated to the other website languages.

I can't help much with quality review (I've only just written my first
extension ever, to help me with quickly resizing floor plans).

Regards,
 Maren

You can quote or simply copy my text without quoting, or I can do it myself
if I learn how.
Its totally no problem, just let me know.

I wrote the text in medium as a self-guide on how I learnt to make a simple
extension but since I am not a developer I was not sure it was ok. If
anyone with more experience thinks this guide is good enough for inkscape
guide to get started in inkscape extensions Ill be more than happy to help.
I used some of this other posts as a reference for creating my own
extension: https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-placeholder

Re: [Inkscape-docs] more on writing extensions

[Brynn]

That sounds reasonable to me.  From what I recall of his message on the 
list, it seems like he might be interested.

However, I've just rediscovered another guide that I knew about a long time 
ago, but had forgotten about.  http://sugarpillstudios.com/wp/?p=142

So now with 3 potentially helpful, but "unofficial" guides, will it be 
reasonable to ask all 3 authors to contribute to the website?  Or maybe I 
will discover more?

I certainly don't mind contacting them and asking...or inviting them to help 
with the official guide (especially since I've been "pushing" to get a guide 
written).  But I'm not sure if it would be appropriate.  Kind of like making 
"cold calls" an old telemarketing term, meaning to sell something to 
strangers who have no previous interest in the product.

I'm guessing they might offer to let us quote from their guides, rather than 
find the time to do it themselves.  I mean, I don't mind trying to contact 
them, if that's what we decide to do.  Who knows?  Maybe they would want to 
work together on it?

Or maybe someone who is more familiar with writing extensions could use the 
info from these 3 guides, to add to the official one?  It's all just a 
little beyond my reach, to be able to do that myself.  When I read these 
guides, I get through the first 3 or 4 paragraphs, and then I'm completely 
lost.

Anyone else with ideas?  (or offers :-))

Re: [Inkscape-docs] more on writing extensions

[Martin Owens]

Hi Brynn,

What would be a really good outreach is if you contact the author of the
medium.com article and ask him if he'd like to improve the inkscape.org
extension guide with the information he's written on his blog.

that way we don't have to link to something that might disapear for
information we should certainly have the best of on our website and we
potentially invite a new contributor to help out on the official pages.

Thoughts?

Best Regards, Martin Owens
