Be warned, "just forking" is a myth.

GIMP?  No.  It doesn't really support SVG anyway.
There's probably room for some kind of keyframe-based animation
extension to Inkscape, which is a native SVG editor (ie. you just point
with your mouse and draw).

Frame-based animation really shouldn't apply to vector graphics,
however.  It makes much more sense to be time / event based.

Speaking of events, you'd need some kind of programming editor to make
things like hyperlinks or your various webgaming stuff work.
Well, for the gaming, probably encourage people to do their programming
manually anyway.
