Creating/editing SVG figures

Creating SVG diagrams and figures the way we are currently doing is tedious, requires hand-writing SVG/XML code and it's generally a very time consuming operation.

I do thing this harms the maintainability of those, I don't think it's realistic to ask people to learn how to do this for editing a single arrow or line in a diagram. This could lead to abandoned figures - as we are bottle necked by the contributors able to go through this process..

We still didn't find a single SVG editor able to export figures the way we need (set custom CSS classes, produce clean SVG code) so either :
- we find a way to add this functionality in an OSS tool,
- or we develop some kind of tool that helps converting tool-generated SVG code to manually editable one and the other way around, to aid this process.
