Inkscape according to Bohrax
Feature Requests
UML Shapes
Use Case: User wants to create nice looking UML state charts with ability to resize shapes without having to rearrange all items within the shape.
Most wanted: A Visio-like UML state shape with rounded corners and two text compartments, one for the title, and one for the event handlers.
Resizing the shape would intelligently resize the text compartments and the corner radii would stay the same.
GTK Widget
Use Case: User wants to create an application in a language with GTK bindings, with the ability to display SVG drawings.
An Inkscape SVG (py)GTK widget.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to drop an Inkscape SVG widget into Glade and write SVG enabled (Python) programs in a flash? Also, if the DOM was accessible - halleluja!

Web Based Editing
Use Case: User wants to edit a drawing on a computer without administrative rights but an Internet connection.
Not sure if Inkscape is the right tool here. Perhaps the Mozilla SVG projekt is better suited. Please, prove me wrong anyone!
