I don't consider Your tutorial by any means "outdated". Ok, one or two menu options moved to another place, but the tutorial focusses on the task, and not so much on the tool itself, and it's perfectly suitable for a beginner wanting to get the big picture (that's, why I like it so much). Speaking of updates: I'm going to start an updated Polish version based on the existing Polish translation of Your tutorial: basically updates, you've mentioned before + some specific hints for Polish users + my updated howto about Scribus PDF forms + anything useful I can get to publish under GNU FDL. I chose Docbook, since this should always remain a piece of work in progress, and these Scribus guys work much to fast :-) (do they ever sleep? or watch football?). I want to spend more time on updating the contents than on reformatting the document each time, I change something. greetings from Vienna :-) Maciej P.S. According to Holger's site http://www.bomots.de/index.htm , the first (at least, I think so) paper book on Scribus titled "Scribus kompakt - das offizielle deutsche Anwenderhandbuch" is due to be published in August.
