Dear all,

I would like to seize the opportunity to welcome Marc as a new member  
of the JessyInk team! Marc added some very neat features to JessyInk  
that he agreed to contribute. One feature is a new PNG export  
extension, which is based on the PDF export extension. Another one is  
a timing function including a progress bar, showing how far into the  
presentation the presenter is and whether they are running behind or  
ahead of schedule. The feature that got me most excited however, is  
the ability to draw on the slides! Using FireFox and the "Save"  
"webpage complete" makes it even possible to save these changes. This  
last feature made some changes to the JessyInk script necessary  
(essentially preserving a copy of the old slides as they were before  
the JessyInk initialisation). Anyways, I hope Marc or myself have  
time to document these proposed changes in more detail to get the  
input of other people as well. For now I would like to thank Marc for  
his work and should I have forgotten something or described it  
incorrectly, please feel free to correct me!

I just had a few minutes, so I pulled the PNG output extension from  
Marc's branch. I added an option to choose the resolution of the PNG  
and I removed the "export-background" option, so that the PNG is  
exported with the background color currently selected (although this  
might lead to confusion with some users, as Inkscape opens new  
documents with a transparent background by default). You are welcome  
to review the changes. They can be found at lp:~hannes-hochreiner/ 
jessyink/png-output . If you happy with them, I'll merge them into  
the trunk.

Cheers,
Hannes
