  • (DONE) Create Freshmeat project for Inkscape [tgould]
  • (DONE) Remove the KDE / Qt code and dependencies [manny]
  • Add modelines to source files for popular editors (vim/emacs) [tvon]
  • Check all listed Sodipodi bugs and copy recreatible ones to Inkscape's CVS tracker
  • Investigate why events don't always get passed from dialogs to canvas - see InkscapeTamed, section II

Inkscape Experimental R&D

  • Identify the remaining XML compliance bugs needing to be fixed & add to plan [mental]
  • (DONE) Describe what needs to be done to fix ambiguous default namespace issue [mental]
We need to disambiguate between qnames that have no namespace and qnames in the default namespace (normally SVG's). Since internally we use a standard set of prefixes with qnames rather than expanded names, this means using e.g. "svg:g" and "svg:svg" instead of "g" and "svg" everywhere to name SVG elements. Note that namespaces are normalized to our standard prefix mappings at load time, so that does not itself constitute a compliance issue. -- MenTaLguY
  • Select a regression test system strategy (cutest?) [mental]
  • Build a new grid options dialog using gtkmm [njh]
  • Investigate ps2ai and ai2svg conversion options (potential EPS support?)
  • Identify how text-along-a-path could be implemented & plan for M3 or M4
  • Prototype stroking/path enhancements [njh]
  • Create list of requirements for plugin system & gain team concensus on it [joncruz, bryce]
