[Freedombox-discuss] Condemos: FBx UI & Potential Distro

[Rick]

Hi Matt.

I'm not sure what your intention is.  Perhaps you are only to using SVG as
a design tool, a la illustrator.

But if you wish to actually create an SVG user interface, let me know.

Inkscape is an awesome program, but it isn't really capable of generating a
good dynamic interface.  At least not yet.

I spent four years as one of the spec authors of SVG and I'm currently
using it to implement air traffic control interfaces.

It has occurred to offer to do this for this project, it certainly falls
squarely in the middle of my expertise.  I would be much more inclined to
explore the idea if I were assured the help of an artist.
