2 neat things (inkscape/gimp nightlies, new inkscape plugin)

[Máirín Duffy]

Hi folks,

Just two neat pieces of news related to the tools we used that I thought 
would be good to share:

1) Alex Larsson has made nightly development builds of Inkscape and Gimp 
available using xdg-app. The instructions to install them are here (note 
for F22 you'll have to rewrite the "xdg-app add-remote --user 
--gpg-import=gnome-sdk.gpg gnome http://sdk.gnome.org/repo/" line to 
"xdg-app add-remote --user --no-gpg-verify gnome 
http://sdk.gnome.org/repo/")

2) Xaviju Julián from the Inkscape users list developed an extension for 
Inkscape that will insert CC0 licensed placeholder images from unsplash 
and CC licensed user avatars from uifaces into Inkscape files, see the 
upstream link for instructions on how to download and install:

https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-placeholder

Enjoy :)

Cool. I notice there is also the GTK3 version of Gimp development to try
it out as well. Only downside is the external plugins.
