Hi there, I'm working in a physical institute here.
What's driving me (and them) insane is the scientists using OOo or Power Point for creating A0 posters for conferences. So I'm thinking of introducing the physics to Scribus as a poster creation application, but I'm not sure if Scribus is yet far enough for that. What concerns me is: * Formulas As far as I can see, there is still no possibility in the actual version of Scribus (SuSE 10.2 here, Scribus 1.3.3.4-22) for formula creation, how about the tex frame thing? Fiddling around with OOo to create formulas won't seem very attractive to the scientists. Any other tips? * Lists Is this still the only way to create lists: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/How_to_create_lists_in_scribus_1.2x Not sure, if the guys will dig that or if it will seem too complicated to them... * Undo/redo In the actual version this is still not satisfiyng... * Any other thing, which I still don't see but which will show up when time gets too short for a workaround :-) So my question to you guys is if you have any hints for me. Should I take the effort or is that too risky (I don't want to have 15 people attempting to tar and feather me two days before the next conference because they don't get their posters done). How about the newer versions of Scribus are things better there, so that an installation of a newer version would be worthwhile? TIA for your input! Cheerz Lars
