After my ill-fated efforts to get Scribus building natively on OSX, I decided to do something that *is* within my skill set: give it a rigorous try in an actual publishing production setting. I used v. 1.1.4 running under Fink/X1 to lay out a book cover (where I would normally use InDesign). My results with this project, both (mostly) good and (a few) bad, and full of pretty screen shots, are documented here:
http://www.smallbizmac.com/index.php?=entry=/Software/Scribus-in- production-setting.txt If nothing else, I think this article has some usefulness because I haven't seen anything else written in detail from a professional production/publishing/design perspective about Scribus--most of the commentary is from a more general/non-power-user perspective. So, it's food for thought at the very least. I'd be interested to hear back any comments that folks might have.
