Thanks but if it hadn't been for Ralf and Peter over at the kde-cygwin 
project I would have had the ingredients to cook with! And if it hadn't 
been for the nice folks who decided to pursue getting us such a fine 
cookbook (http://wiki.scribus.net) I wouldn't have had such a nice place 
to enter the recipe! Then of course there is all the fine developers 
here that well I guess had a small part in bringing us this fine 
software to begin with! :)

That's exciting feedback. Thanks!

I reformatted that last quote so that the URL worked on-click.

Well I certainly hope that it will be more accessible and helpful for 
those desiring to get away from the proprietary publishing tools. 
Especially those who desire to learn more about DTP without having to 
cough up lots of money for software before they even start.

Cheers to all!
