Andreas & Martin: This is a great step forward for OSX native Scribus. The popularity of Scribus with increase tremendously if it is developed into a native application. Even though Fink is a great resource, many, including me who are not so well versed with Unix, would find it a lot easier to deal with a native OSX version. Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to a stand alone version some time in near future!
