Hi all,
I work for a publishing company, where we use routinely use InDesign for covers, posters, flyers and so on, even though most of our computers run Linux (Debian flavor). In the coming months we will create a paper magazine whose pages will all need to be typeset with an InDesign-like software (we often use LaTeX for our books). At this point, we're willing to give a go to Scribus since it can use CMYK colors and so on. According to the website and features lists, Scribus seems ready to be deployed for production. Yet, being an open source developer myself I know that sometimes more work should be done here and there, that a feature mostly works or that a large piece of code can need rewriting to be work well with other recent changes. Only insiders can have this kind of knowledge, and that's why I'm asking for your help. Would you consider Scribus to be ready for the creation of a full-featured project such as a magazine? Are there caveats that we should know about? Things that might break? Other things that have not yet been fully tested? Do you know of subscribers-paid magazines that are entirely done with Scribus? Other success stories? We will commit a lot of time and money to this project, so I'd be very grateful if you could answer in the sincerest possible way. If you think it'd be better to wait a few months for an upcoming release, that's the kind of info I'm also interested in. Thanks a lot for your help. Seb.
