Re: Shapes from svg's

Hi CL,

thanks for your interest in Dia.

Have a look at the Dia Shape Repository:

http://dia-installer.de/shapes.html

This is a place where several other shape packages are available already.
And packages from this repository can be installed using the diashapes wizard.

For most of the shapes published in the repository, I did a little bit
of quality control,
icon polishing and package standardization.

As you've derived your shapes from other artwork, the licensing terms
should be clarified.

In case you prefer to publish your shapes on the mailing list, I
suggest that instead of
sending shape packages to the mailing list you place them on a website
and send the URL
to the mailing list. In case you don't have a website available, you
could use bugzilla.gnome.org.
This approach keeps mail sizes on the mailing list small.

In case you would like to share your Python tool,

http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Python

might be the right place to put it.

Regards,

Steffen
