Congratulations to him, to you, and to all people involved in writing, documenting, testing and propagating Scribus. You're doing a terrific job in filling a gap in an important area of the open/libre software market. > In the meantime I have a smaller birthday present for the subscribers of this list. The British publisher Packt Publishing has just released an English version of Cedric Gemy's Scribus Beginner's Guide (https://www.packtpub.com/scribus-1-3-5-beginners-guide/book), which covers Scribus 1.3.5 and hence 1.3.6--1.4+ as well. The book is available in print and as an eBook. I've got the ebook version. I do hope you guys get a profit from the sales somehow. I'd like to think I'm helping you to write Scribus when I buy stuff like this. Scribus is important to me, and I'd love to help it become better in other ways than filing a bug report every now and then. Have you thought of starting a foundation, or any other kind of organization around the software? Something I could donate a few bucks to? A PayPal/Flattr/whatever button on the page? I would sleep better if I knew I could add a tiny little brick to a safe future of the software. GS -- Grzegorz Staniak, gstaniak _at_ wp *dot* pl
