I've looked at Scribus. And it's very beta still. It has some potential to be great software eventually, but it is nowhere near InDesign. And it can't read the source files at all. I will likely be using Scribus for the printed XO manual later on this month, so I hope it isn't as bad as it seems. :S<br>

If we really want people to get involved, we need to better document what you're doing, what the work flow would be, what skills are required, and get the word out there. <br>
<br>Volunteer coordination is hard, but worth it. :) <br><br>Seth<br><br><br><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
