Hi Akila, Glad to hear you're interested in applying once again. One quick piece of feedback that comes to mind is that it'd be good to contact the Scribus developers/community and see if they're open to this work. It's not clear to me from below whether or not the C++ plugins can be distributed separately; if not, we want to lay the groundwork for pushing that upstream.
Overall it sounds like there's some good opportunities here for both marking the created documents with a license (support for a visible license notice will be critical), as well as the clip art/image support like the OpenOffice/LibreOffice add-on has. Look forward to reading your proposal!
