Google Project 10 to the 100

¢mindfuckx:iconmindfuckx: reports, September 25
"At Google, we don't believe we have the answers, but we do believe the answers are out there. Maybe in a lab, or a company, or a university -- but maybe not.

Maybe the answer that helps somebody is in your head, in something you've observed, some notion that you've been fiddling with, some small connection you've noticed, some old thing you have seen with new eyes.
If you have an idea that you believe would help somebody, we want to hear about it. We're looking for ideas that help as many people as possible, in any way, and we're committing the funding to launch them. You can submit your ideas and help vote on ideas from others. Final idea selections will be made by an advisory board."

Google will donate a $10 million sponsorship to the top 5 ideas.
So what are you still doing here ?

The Inkscape community is proud to announce the release 0.40 of Inkscape, "A Cross-platform Open Source Vector Graphics (SVG) Drawing Tool."

Thanks for posting this, I wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. Inkscape is a nice program, I recently wrote an article about it. It kept crashing a lot while I was trying it, so I hope those 200 bugfixes will help with that. I really like the calligraphy tool and it's nice to hear it has been improved too. I recommend Inkscape to everyone who wants to try vector drawing.

excellent. it will be really goog to see more people getting access to Vector tools, for free. Illustrator is the greatest, but too expensive for most people to justify.

lets hope the bugs get fixed and the features get expanded. :D
