[Openstandaarden] FYI: SVG and its Path into the Linux Desktop

[Mattias Campe]

Hallo,


Op http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=6460&page=1 staat een 
interessant artikel die zich vooral toespitst op de evolutie en het 
gebruik van SVG op de Gnome Desktop (maar heeft het bv. ook over Mozilla 
die de SVG draad terug zou oppikken).

De ateur besluit met:
While originally designed with the web in mind, SVG seems to be have a 
strong future on the desktop. Free software is taking the lead in 
adopting and popularizing this open format and there are already 
multiple implementations available with different strengths and uses. 
The wider free software community should seize this chance to help us 
reach our goals. The basic parts are there, but much work is still 
needed to produce stable, mature SVG libraries and editors. This 
includes more work on projects such as Sodipodi or Inkscape. Or tools 
for creating the CSS using metathemes or more animation oriented tools 
for making SVG animations.
Intersted artists should also be aware of the newly started freedesktop 
clipart project. The project is at the following freedesktop mailing 
list for the time being, but our hope is to turn it into a shared 
package of public domain SVG clipart for use in various applications 
like GNOME Office, KDE Office or Open Office.


Mvg,
Mattias
