Reading books on generic desktop publishing principles would be of more
use than a Quark book. That said, my "unsupported" plugin so that you
can import Quark files is stable, but still needs far more testing. I am
hoping to have it in the 1.1 release (I've been looking at the plugin
mechanism source and it will be amongst the top for re-writing!).

You could also get involved by emailing Peter Linnel (the documentation
guru) and helping him out. Scribus really is a simple package to pick
up...
