Ok - there are three things that stop me getting some of my windows mates into scribus for their work.
1. The tables thing - there is nothing I can do to sort that and so I just have to live with it. 2. The size of PDF it produces when I want a baby PDF for a web version. In the past I've got the impression that fixing this would be tricky because it all comes down to individual character placement instead of word / lines. So again I think I have to live with it. 3. Lack of booklet printing. I know all the work around etc etc etc. But these are Windows Users! These are people who expect a paper clip to pop up and ask if they need help writing a letter! This is a very common query on this list which makes me think it would be a popular upgrade... Now I may be wrong but I imagine this is possibly relatively easy to code. After-all the difficult bit is presumably getting the PDF format - and that's done. So (hence the title) what if I wanted to fix it myself. I have a fair amount of coding experience in other languages but don't even know what language Scribus is written in would it be worth my while even attempting it? Is there a place to look for help and if I did get it working (hah!) then where would I go to post the "solution" and would it be taken on by the team? I've seen the naming convention wiki - but was looking for more of a howto... The plugin howto seems to be a broken link but I'm not clear if this would be a plugin or a change to the actual core code (if there is a difference) C
