It would make sense to have something more ambiguous in terms of OS given it works on various versions of Unix (Linux, BSD, and Mac OSX via Fink). The other thing is though that there is not (yet) a native MacOSX version or Windows version. You can go through the process of getting cygwin and then KDE and then Scribus to work on Windows... but doing so does require more knowledge than the average Windows user would seem to have at this point in time. I don't think there will be anyone rushing to want to change the slogan of the few that might take up Scribus via cygwin. As I said though, I think a new slogan wouldnt be a bad thing but theres no need to rush this. Thomas did some good work in getting the survey setup and we appreciate that. The fact that no single result stood out from the rest in an overwhelming majority with a decent number of voters probably just means there wasnt a good set of choices.
