Hi Kunda,

I guess that would be me on the Scribus team. I'm currently sidetracked with
refactoring the PDF code. After that I'll return to RTL + nonlatin scripts. 
As soon as I have the necessary infrastructure changes in place, I'll create a
project on Github and ask for people to join the effort.
