sounds good, must investigate
As far as inkscape is concerned, it beats illustrator and corel draw in producing SVG images a W3C standard for 2D vector graphics. Though it also has features, and is best GUI I have seen in any free software application so far, while talking about them we should never forget to tell them that its use is recommended since it produces an ecoding of the document in an open standard so that it works in all applications. PDF support in inkscape is also very impressive.
cool, i can just see myself bidding for a job against adobe illustrator and corel draw artists with an inkscape presentation and explaining to hime that he should accept my bid because it produces <quote>SVG images a W3C standard for 2D vector graphics</quote>. It is this kind of approach that sets our movement back so much.
i spent my morning arguing with a govt committee - all other things equal, they should choose the foss alternative. They refused - level playing field is all we can give you, they said. Fair enough, on a level playing field we are winning on so many levels, servers, programming tools, etc etc. Print, design, publication and some other fields we cant yet win on a level playing field. So lets accept it for the time being and work to improve rather than try to sell 'political correctness'. We saw where political correctness led the country in the second half of the last century.
