Okay. I'm confused. It hasn't arrived yet, but a few days ago I bought a scribus manual through Amazon. This one was supposedly written by Christopher Schaefer. How does it relate to the manual addressed in this email? I am brand new to Scribus, and just joined the mailing list a few days ago.

We should actually produce a list of new features (lots of them) and perhaps start a comparison. However, it's up to you to participate in this process, even if you're just asking questions.
