[scribus] Scribus becoming un-useable with a magazine

[Jeroen Baten]

  Dear JL,

I am not active in this communtiy so please take this personal opinion 
with some grains of salt.

But a GUI oriented tool like Scribus, with its potential and already 
excellent track record, would be wise to focus on also handling larger 
documents as the level of profesional usage increases.

Sure I can script in bash, Python and a number of other languages, but 
that is nice if you're a developer.

Scribus needs also to be used by average joe DTP users. Otherwise it 
really has no future.

My 2 cents of course.

Regards and happy weekend to all.
