An introduction that will help you to understand the basic concepts of vector graphics and Inkscape (Part I) and an interactive tutorial that will give you the most important usage hints you will need for your first drawing (Part II):

Part I: Theory

Very nice! I'm sure I'll be linking to it often

(I tried to post a comment on that page for you, but it doesn't seem to work. Maybe nothing is supposed to happen? If that's the case, I apologize for sending 3 or 4 times.)

Edit
(I tried disabling my Firefox plugin that blocks the referrer header, but didn't help.)

The german is very good !
I cant speak that well.

@brynn: It is supposed to open your email program when you click on 'Post via Email', I don't use a database or any on-server programs. There are just the bare html pages and nothing else. So I get the comments by email, and put them into the system locally, then create the html pages, and upload those to the server. This way, I don't have to worry about people trying to hack my database, and I don't depend upon any outside services.
If you stumble about any errors (grammar, or weird expressions that could be very difficult to understand), I'd like to hear about those, please
I'll also take any comments by email and put them in

@Espermaschine: You mean speak English or German? Not sure (I fail to see a problem with your English... is your blog's 'About me' description misleading?... Sorry - probably not the place to ask this - but your pms are disabled...)

It didn't open my email. OH! But I'll try again. I wasn't able to open it either, earlier today. Maybe the problem was on my end.

Ah yes, there it goes

Yes, im german.
Your german, the way you form sentences and express things, its very good.
If i had to write a blog entry in german, that wouldnt be so refined.

So your german is very good - mine not so much.

@Espermaschine: My German teacher always complained about the length of the sentences... I still see his red word counts in my mind when a whole paragraph consists of only a single sentence

But yes, I like language(s) in general, thanks (and with English, you'll most certainly reach a wider audience, Esper - so no problem there )

@Brynn: It's online now Thanks!

Dont get me started on school trauma....

Excellent job and very well done. Sincere compliments.
Count me in if any help would be needed (aside of translating German ,)

Maestral, your English is excellent and the words you use have a nice, kind flow - if you see something that could be phrased in a way so that it is easier to understand, please speak up
If you've got any other ideas about how you can help, that would be cool, too (I've got little to no clue as to what might be your 'special area of interest' - oh, browsing the old threads I see lots of quality images... do you do info graphics, too? We could use one for inkscape.org which explains the difference vector <-> raster in a nice, user-centric way).

(I hurried a bit when translating, and re-reading it, even I sometimes got lost in my own subclauses... which are easier to use in German, as it's usually a lot clearer what they are referring to, due to our more differentiated grammar).

(btw. you're all making me blush... and cause a desire to start translating part II as soon as possible )

You`re not the only one blushing Many thanks for your kind words.

I haven`t done that much of infographics but I`ll do it with pleasure. I do 2D animation as well, so some explainer video may also be counted as available for inkscape.org. In both cases, please do make a script or prepare some sort of a rough draft for these and I`ll see what can I do. We may also open some other com.channels, just in order to make it all work and to spare the crowd from spoiling the surprise ,)

@Maestral: I've sent you a PM, Brynn is included in CC, as she's very much involved with this, too.

Updated the links in the first post (translation finished... Phew...).
