Tyler,

I don't know much about LaTex, but I have used Scribus. If we ever
decide to move the newsletter to Scribus I could help with the layout
and graphical production.

I've used both, and for this particular type of application, I
really feel that scribus is a better fit.
So, I second the motion :)
Hi guys,
I've replied to Landon offline as well, but wanted to note that I
think it is worth discussing amongst the various editors when those
positions are filled. Since they are the ones who will need to
interact with contributors and reformat or convert content into
whatever system we use anyway. For now we have a robust LaTex setup
that works well, so we'll assume it until otherwise decided. At any
rate, I want to see as few barriers to contributors as possible -
though that might just mean having editors do more of the converting.
Note that we have several categories each with only a few articles -
my hope is that the workload will be spread to a manageable level
regardless of the platform.
So there's your invite to also help edit a section, so your vote will
really count ;-).
Tyler
