Introduction

Inkscape is a popular tool within creative commons/opensource communities, e.g. fablabs and for several reasons:

  • The drawing tool is decent enough
  • It supports the popular SVG format (and uses an extended version for itself). This allows publishing drawings directly on an HTML5 page. In addition, there are nice repositories for drawings, e.g. http://clipart.org or the https://thenounproject.com.
  • There are interesting extensions and probably, over time, there will be more.
