Then I started learning 3d modelling and I build a framework around python and OpenSCAD to aid in the design of pinball playfields: https://github.com/felipesanch... Using that I prepared CAD files for the PARTYLand playfield (the one I actually built was originally manually drilled): https://github.com/felipesanch... One Pinball Fantasies enthusiast in Sweden found my CAd files and actually started building his own playfield replica in Sweden! And he used a CNC milling machine, so his replica is much better than mine (Great Work!): http://cyb.se/pinball-fantasie... I'm astonished, since the game was originally developed in Sweden, then I came up with this project here in Brazil and later it naturally got back to Sweden in the hands of this guy! Happy Hacking, Felipe "Juca" Sanches

I patched dosbox to run the unpatched MSDOS version of Pinball Fantasies and provide I/O via an arduino controlling a replica of the PARTYLand Pinball table. Photos of the construction (work in progress) are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/... Videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/f...

That's for sure a trouble with the free software movement!

Makerware is proprietary software. Live with it.

Actually, our SVG implementation is almost complete, only lacking a few things. I believe that the most important and substantial thing that we still do not support are the animation tags. As Inkscape is nowadays a drawing application (not an animation app yet), then I think it is not reasonable to say that we haven't succeeded in SVG implementation yet. We have solid support for the subset of SVG features that are needed for a drawing app. And this subset is substantially large.

You can expect to see animation support in some future version, and then we'll probably see an Inkscape 1.0 later, when the standard finally gets fully implemented.

So now you've just learned that some people do it differently.

What is the purpose of your comments? Is it to state that there is something wrong in the development process of Inkscape? If so, then what would you suggest us to change?

If you think it is easy, remember that you can always help us do it faster (and better). Also, no browser currently support the full SVG spec as you can see at http://www.codedread.com/svg-support.php

The version number 0.48 does not mean 48% done. Inkscape developers have chosen a version numbering scheme based on the following simple rule: We'll release Inkscape 1.0 whenever Inkscape fully supports the SVG standard. Until then we'll keep increasing the secondary number on each new release. When I joined the development team, Inkscape 0.45 did not support SVG Fonts and SVG Filters. SVG Fonts are partially implemented now and SVG Filters are fully supported (except for some minor issues). And off course there is all the work done by all the other developers too.
