Thank you Cedric, for a very encouraging write-up. I am sure that with time, this new newspaper will also feed good stuff back to the Scribus community.
I was curious, just could not believe that anything new does NOT have a website. Even biscuits and bars of soap got their own website. So I found this very nice building site, which is still charmingly giving Lorem ipsum... http://axonais.fr/ It shows that those guys are for real and that they got style, even if no content yet. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder Cedric, and hopefully soon we can get a look at some online versions. Do not forget to tell the Axonais team that they can present themselves here: http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Success_stories_2014 Martin On 23.05.2014 14:40, pygmee wrote: > Hello everyone > > I'm here to announce the a new french weekly newspaper now uses Scribus :) > unfortunately they have no website but it is called L'Axonais. > > 1.
