That's really cool Jef! I had been looking into some of Inkscapes features that generate patterns based on mathematical expressions. The function plotter and L-system (Lindenmeyer systems) both seem promising, but I don't know if they could be successfully used in an aesthetically pleasing manner, though they would certainly be in keeping thematically with our design goal. Helpful information about the latter can be found here:

Thanks for sharing! My wife loved them.

Hi everyone,
I was reading Aza Raskin's tweets today (@azaaza) and came across a very
interesting website:
http://forresto.com/
Click "next" or "previous" to see more cool stuff. They seem to have a lot in common with the design concept for F14. Especially #2, #3 and #4 look like they would make great wallpapers, and definitely fits our goals of "emergence" and such.
It uses Raskin's "Algorithm Ink" ( http://azarask.in/projects/algorithm-ink/#e03e6859), which is open source. You can fill in the code from the Forrest O website and edit it.
Maybe this can help us create some more cool wallpapers. Only problem I found so far is that you can't save it as a vector image (as far as I can see). Have fun with it! Hope it provides some inspiration. :)
Jef
