[scribus-dev] svg plug-in: how to extend with text-as-text importing?

[a.l.e]

hi mabri,

> Secondly, is there a function available, accessible from plugins,

> Thirdly, is it feasible to do this work based on (and eventually for

any improvements which needs bigger changes should go into 1.5svn.

personally, if you want to work on this issue, i would suggest you to:
- add a choice to import the text as vector or as text
- start with a simple text frame from inkscape and add more and more features
- propose incremental patches by adding them to the bug tracker to simplify their review.
