It has its detractions, it has its limitations, but what you see in the end in this example is quite an array of demonstrated operations in Scribus. Until you begin to see what it was that he did, you cannot see what he may have not done or left out, or simply what might be improved upon. Here is what I have so far: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/FreedomYUG_Tutorial_Demonstrated_Tasks I think that many will agree that, aside from conversion/updating this tutorial, there are other and more advanced features of Scribus which also could and should be included, so ultimately we need to know what this project lacks -- this may or may not be more pages, but it will likely be more kinds of objects. There is also some repetitiveness that /might/ be trimmed a bit, and generally one could say that this is a literal, explicit project -- the creativity is all Niyam's, so it comes out as "make this thing here, with this content, this size and position, do it this way..." rather than encouraging experimentation.
