some loose SVG thoughts
Posted by stelt apropos on Mon Sep 25th, 2006 at 14:11:42 BST
mostly uncrystallized:
-SVG Firefox extensions (Holger's a nice start, looking forward to more, hoping to get my SVG+Javascript coding helping bits into one)
-thinking about a programmer-friendly wysiwyg+code SVG tool (just move, resize and eventually everything related like viewBox, stroke-width, font-size, transform, etc) would be totally awesome as a framework to build on towards a complete programmer-friendly design tool (Inkscape's really nice, if the resulting image is a static endgoal)
-I should look into the Virtual Mechanics' Web Engine design tool that has Opera in it (i'm still 99% handcoding, even for my svglogo.com entries)
-The Wiki (http://wiki.svg.org ) needs love and attention. how do we ask and persuade people to help?
-Saturday was first meet of national 'action on open' kind of platform that i got invited for, lots of connections there, thinking about how to spread SVG and other open (web)standards through it.
-ASV End-Of-Life, can we build plug-ins or something close to it from Batik or AmanithVG (maybe letting IE hand .svg files/URIs (preferable image/svg+xml though) to Squiggle, or other implementation strategies (plus maybe postpone the EOL?).

Just to free my brain of this 'storm' :-) , comments very welcome though
