Re: [Lib2geom-devel] [Inkscape-devel] lib2geom status

[<J.B...@ew...>]

Perhaps superfluous but still: *we can use 2geom inside Inkscape already =
without problem!!!*

I don't think we want a release now, so we can quickly address issues =
that surface. I think it is best to keep 2geom inside Inkscape code for =
0.46, and have a good and nice 2geom release for 0.47. This way we can =
profit from bleeding edge 2geom which atm is nicer than a release will =
be imho.
I am fine by copying 2geom code to Inkscape for now :-)

(note that early on in LPE development i did have 2geom linked in as =
separate lib, 'release like'. It is not too much of a change)

On our wiki, we have started a help page where people can ask questions =
and put answers. Hopefully this will grow to a somewhat complete 2geom =
guide.
