SVG is a World Wide Web Consortium standard.<br>
<br>
Adobe and other private corporations (ESRI, Microsoft, etc.) are
occupying our educational institutions and I refuse to support them.
This project is intended to build on and integrate excellent tools as
an /alternative/ to closed source tools that privatize wealth/mind
share and are the current norm.<br>
<br>
Inkscape is a viable tool and deserves consideration and promotion.<br>

It seems like the SVG plugin is a good place to focus. Thank you for
your suggestion.<br>

I would very much appreciate working with you Fred. :-) We should,
perhaps, start a public wiki page regarding this project, on the OSGeo
wiki.
