Hello all,

First of all, I would like to add my voice to what LL wrote about the 
team and the project. I cannot agree more!

That said, there is still some (lots of) work to be done to achieve a 
better Scribus! But what a pleasure to work in these conditions! What 
a spirit!

Would it be possible to have some information on the hyphenation 
engine? I am currently trying to figure out the limitations of 
Scribus in that area to get some improvement. Knowing how the program 
hyphenates (algorithm, dictionary) would help. For instance, maybe it 
will be sufficient to identify a few instances of words that don't 
hyphenate properly (or not at all, as I have seen) to make an 
adjustment that will have a powerfull effect on the hyphenation 
results. So, on the development side, what would be helpful?

Cheers!

Louis
