Is a single person in charge of layout? Is a periodical like this divided into sections so that more than one or many people work on the layout? What kinds of editing are you doing -- fixing spelling, grammar, or maybe just adjusting to fit the available space?
I don't know that CMS is going to help you much. If you want to edit the text while in Scribus, there are two preferred ways to do it: some prefer using Edit Contents mode, where you edit while seeing how the text looks on the main canvas. Others might use Story Editor, where you see the text but not in the font that will show on the main canvas until you update or exit the Story Editor. You can of course subdivide a periodical like this into smaller parts, then bring together later in Scribus or join their PDFs (the latter takes a bit more technical skill and requires an external program such as pdftk). If you can tell us how many people work on this, and what their roles are, then you should get some kinds of specific feedback from those who are doing this right now. It looks like you have settled on a pretty stable style for the layout, which by itself should help. Greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
