JavaFX support for Inkscape?

Hi Inkscape developers.  I'd like to see if there is anyone interested  
in working on a JavaFX plugin for Inkscape.

Please let me introduce myself. I'm Josh Marinacci from the JavaFX  
engineering team at Sun. JavaFX is our new platform for graphic  
intensive applications that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux (as well  
as phones and TVs in the future). Recently there have been threads on  
a few mailing lists asking for JavaFX support in Inkscape so I thought  
I'd see if there was anyone in the developer community interested in  
creating such a plugin.  Let me explain what this means.

Today we have something called the JavaFX Production Suite, which is a  
set of plugins for Photoshop and Illustrator.  They let you export  
graphics from those tools and then integrate them in an app you are  
building, adding animation and event handlers directly to the  
graphics. I put together a screencast to show you how it works in  
Photoshop:

We simply don't have the developer resources to create plugins for  
tools other than Photoshop and Illustrator, but we also don't want to  
leave open source and Linux designers out of the loop. We'd love to  
help some in the Inkscape community build such a plugin. We can  
provide technical support and specs, and answer questions.  I think it  
would be pretty easy for an experienced Inkscape developer to build  
such an export plugin. The underlying .FXZ format is basically a zip  
file containing images and some text metadata similar to XML. It  
should be pretty easy to generate.

It's my understanding that there was a previous effort to create an  
Inkscape plugin (Silviera Neto was working on it, I think).  Is this  
plugin still under development? If so we'd love to provide any  
assistance possible.

Please let me know if there's any interest. Thanks!

        Josh
