"DTP" may be more familiar to some people, but speaking as an Art Director, I can tell you that it isn't a term looked upon favorably by designers. It's placed in the category something done by tourists, wankers, hobbyists and dabblers. My suggestion of different wording is not to confuse people accustomed to one term, but rather to INclude an entire profession by offering more accurate descriptive words of what Scribus is.
Plus, 'DTP' doesn't especially mean anything. With respect to creating and printing from a computer environment, any application could be said to offer "desktop publishing" provided you can hit "print" within that app, and have output come out thru a printer. Word could be considered DTP under that definition. But what differentiates Scribus, Quark and InDesign from, say, Gimp or Painter or Open Office or Photoshop (all of which offer "Print") is that these three applications are used to lay out publications, page by page, affording a level of control and a tool set not found in the others. Looked at another way, a car and a boat are both vehicles, but you wouldn't attempt to drive a car across the ocean.. netkat
