tk8.5a6 compartibility. One year ago I have reported that Skencil is not compartible with latest tcl/tk releases:<br><a href="http://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/skencil-users/2006-May/000039.html" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

</a><br><br>After small namespaces modification this filter can be used in Skencil. </div><span class="q"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I had already put on some of the questions.<br>What name to use, and what strategy to pursue regarding<br>the now available three esisting ends skencil 0.6, sk1, skencil 0.7.<br>Then we need to find the best infrastructure for it.
</blockquote></span><div><br>My suggestion is using "sK1" name for latest branch, because:<br>1. This code is highly differ from 0.6/0.7 versions<br>2. This code name is already announced as in Russian community and in west open source world.
<br>3. This name is derived from Sketch<br>4. New name simplifies attracting new users. Unfortunately users choice first of all a modern UI and we often hear: "Skencil? Oh, it's an ugly Motif-style application. My choice is Inkscape/Xara/Karbon" So, even Skencil
v1.0 will not attract quickly large user pool. The same "reanimation" problem is highly important for tcl/tk widgetset. <br><br>Regarding strategy I think that all three branches should be alive. As far as I understand Skencil
v0.6 engine is used in production, therefore this branch should be supported. I'm not familiar with pyGtk therefore I cannot evaluate Gtk-based v0.7 usability as a base for derived products, but it seems it can be used as whole product and a part of pyGtk-based applications.
<br><br>I cannot say that sK1 code can serve as reusable package, because sK1 primary goal is a mature vector graphics editor. Also sK1 code is still unperfect and requires <font>further development</font>. But even in current state sK1 can be presented as unique open source application for prepress. Only Scribus has similar features, but this application is not illustration program. So, my personal view of sK1 future is a competitor of CorelDRAW but on Linux platform. And future users pool should grow from former CorelDRAW users.
<br><br>Inkscape Team also declared that it's application is something like CorelDRAW or Illustrator, but on my opinion Inkscape is more similar to specialized editor like Macromedia Flash (at least on current development stage).
