Greg, great idea, you can start filling your "stupid" reasons into wiki: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Stupid_reasons_we_use_Scribus BTW, there are some really nice things going on in the Scribus Wiki: User Hap0 is in the middle of creating the ultimate guide to installing Scribus on Windows: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Installing_Scribus_from_CVS_sources_on_Win32_with_QT_3/Windows User Rydel announced his willingness to write howtos on creating brochures with Scribus: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/User_talk:Rydel Some users are in the middle of defining the new keyboard shortcuts for Scribus 1.3*: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Keyboard_Shortcuts_by_Key There is a "wishing well" for Scribus roadmap suggestions: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Roadmap_Suggestions We are still waiting for the first user to describe hers/his positive experience with a Scribus friendly print shop: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Scribus_Friendly_Print_Shops best regards Maciej
