Hi Maciej, > I'm a c't magazine addict myself and can only agree with what you've > said about its quality (I wish we had something like that in my native > language)
Sometimes I think people are learning German just to be able to read c't ;) Recently I learned that c't is quite popular among professionals in the USA, which is impressive for a magazine published in German. Its quality and credibility is outstanding, indeed! > but it's surely not the first time they've approvingly > mentioned Scribus and it's makers. Read this for example, they published > it 1,5 years ago: > > http://irc.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2004-February/004075.html Yes, I read the article in the printed issue, of course. In it, the author described scribus as an amateur software that might become professional grade one day. But heise never mentioned a major scribus release on their news site before, not even 1.0 or 1.2. The fact that they did with 1.3, is, IMHO, a good sign. Maybe the author had a look at it, did some research on the Wiki (the roadmap) and thought some people at Quark and Adobe will lose some sleep, once 1.4 is out ;) It's a good sign because we can hope for a full article on 1.4, comparing it to Quark and ID. And a full article in c't is useful no matter what it says. If they rate scribus good, a *lot* of people will read it and know there is a viable alternative, which in turn means more users and more feedback/input. In case they still think it's not ready for real life production, they will describe exactly why. This will help further improvement. Cheers, Christoph
