[scribus] The Scribus target - a question for the developers

;-) Do not forget that Scribus and OpenOffice have a completely 
different history. OOo has its roots in a commercial product 
(Staroffice, which followed the stand-alone Starwriter, and I remember 
working using this tool back in 1993 ;-) ) which was made open-source 
after being aquired by Sun. So it is an ongoing development of an Office 
Suite that had already been complete in the 90s, with huge companies 
contributing to it. You can compare its history somehow to Mozilla.

Yet I think that Scribus is a rather complete tool, too - for a given 
workflow you can do all you need. Only to broaden that workflow, 
additions may be needed. Besides that, all is about performance and 
bug-fixing ;-)

CU Lars.
