There might be some advantages in cross-fertilisation between
Seashore and Inkscape, but apart from the origins (GIMP vs
Sodipodi)
and the directions (gtkmm vs Cocoa) being very different, I
think that
you will find that Seashore is very much less mature than
Inkscape.
Having said that, I still think that you might want to watch
your 'pre-literate' target audience using Seashore, and use that
insight to suggest features that could be added to Inkscape. I
would seriously suggest that working features, even if simple
that children would choose to use could with advantage be
adapted for use by grown ups?
Jonathan,
Are you part of the Seashore team?
