[maemo-developers] [announcement] Inkface 0.1

[From: Jayesh Salvi]

Hi all,

I have been working on SVG based GUI design for past few months. At Maemo
summit I showed the demo of my SVG based GUI apps to some of you. I was
delighted by the positive response. I am glad to announce version 0.1 of the
SVG based GUI framework "Inkface".

With this framework, you can design beautiful GUIs in an Image editor like
Inkscape and glue it with your application logic in python. Moreover
changing the GUIs is just a matter of replacing the input SVG file.

Check out this demo video <http://blip.tv/file/1355876>.

If you want to try these applications yourself:

   - Install the .deb packages
(libaltsvg<http://altcanvas.googlecode.com/files/libaltsvg_0.1.0_armel.deb>,
   inkface-python<http://altcanvas.googlecode.com/files/inkface-python_0.1.0_armel.deb>)
   (for diablo)
   - Download and execute the python scripts: Keyboard
(.py<http://altcanvas.googlecode.com/svn-history/r635/trunk/inkface/tests/inkface-keyboard.py>
   .svg<http://altcanvas.googlecode.com/svn-history/r635/trunk/inkface/tests/data/keyboard-entry.svg>)
   IRC (.py<http://altcanvas.googlecode.com/svn-history/r635/trunk/inkface/tests/inkface-irc.py>

   )
