The second objective is to work on the node align feature. The main problem is that the GUI and the behaviour are different : there are far less possibilities to align severap points than shapes. Moreover, how do I cope with control points ? Do I let them untouched ?

I'll post GUI propositions and patches here as soon as I have something working ...

Just look at what the inkscape guys are preparing for the 0.39 release. I'm very happy to see EPS work going on, as I have many logos and xfig schemas in this format, this will ease my work.

What I'd like now is a good SVG import in OpenOffice.org, along with a nice rendering in PDFs. Speaking of PDFs and OpenOffice.org, I just found that today, but dit not successed to get it working (produces a ridiculously small pdf file, and GhostrScript fails tot open the .ps ).
