Summary: Allow Scribus (.sla / .sla.gz) file uploads on Wikimedia
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Site requests
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Just sticking this in Bugzilla as a reminder for further possible discussion,
since it's been brought up or requested a couple times.
Scribus is an open-source, cross-platform desktop publishing package, which
some folks like to use for things like brochures and other PR-type materials.
It would be helpful to be able to share work in the original editable format.
The .sla file format is XML based, and can optionally be gzip-compressed direct
from the app (saved as .sla.gz).
Problems:
* Images can only be included by reference, not embedded. A complete document
may require multiple downloads, or else manually zipping up the data set.
* Scribus files are XML, but there's not a doctype or xmlns requirement on the
current version, so they might be harder to verify. (Root element is
<SCRIBUSUTF8>.)
* Quick peek at format refs indicates there's some JavaScript embedding
features. Any security issues? Sigh. :P :)
