[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Re: Know GIMP? Know Inkscape? Want to host a class?

Alright. What I'd like is a group to babble at as i author an inkscape
tutorial, with one person who knows basic html who can take dictation as i
capture screenshots.  That way i can work on talking to people and getting
their needs while working the software.
