Craig's plans

CORE

• Tasks to finish:
  • Export bitmap patch - should be made to work with browse button, cannot tell where the file went to with that dialog.
  • Export bitmap patch - should be optionally relative. Either a preference or a toggle between absolute and relative path on the export window.
  • Export bitmap patch - Batch export doesn't work, files get saved to current working directory, previously they were saved to the drawing directory.
  • docbase output patch -- check that the filesystem is local, encode the output docbase in local enoding

• New tasks?
  • Sort extensions drop down in save as...
  • Sort verb-list output
  • btool - Compile progress message e.g. "building file 123 of 200"
  • Enable default units for: 'Object > Transform > Move', connector tool, rows & columns, align & distribute, fill/stroke stroke width
  • Directory chooser widget for extensions - JonCruz is handling this
  • Font substitution is silent
  • Extension dialog modality (Speak to JonCruz?)

EXTENSIONS

• Tasks to finish:
  • Guillotine - remove directory output, and reupload zip file
  • Guillotine - Tabbed interface (specify directory or relative directory or export hints)
  • Guillotine - will break with export hints changed to relative..
  • Measure path - could use real superscript now, instead of cm^2 (see: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ted/inkscape/polygonarea/annotate/head%3A/share/extensions/polygonarea.py)
  • My extensions should use: inkex.addNS('path','svg')

• New tasks for myself?
  • Lettercount (word count)
  • Draw page border
  • Convert text to outline (stroke only, 50% grey, 0.5mm)
  • Make grey (make everything 50% grey)

• New tasks for su-v?
  • Voronoi/Delaunay triangulation
  • Output Node list - as csv
  • Add node info text: display id, label, title+description, like number nodes or measure path, put on a new layer (optionally centre, radius or width, height)
  • Mail merge

• New tasks taken from bugs?
  • Convert palettes

WEBSITE (ask prokoudine)

• Short term
  • Menu is a usability nightmare, needs per-language RSS feeds for news
  • .htaccess file should NOT redirect /favicon.ico requests to /wiki/favicon.ico (see: https://inkscape.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/inkscape/inkscape_web/trunk/.htaccess)

• Medium term
  • Make webserver pull site from bzr

• Long term
  • Redo website in drupal

OTHER

• Setup subversion again
• Read up on Batik Squiggle when bored
