Excellent point Nicholas! And this is one way to put it. Disgruntled users will always be for any piece of written software that becomes public. Yet, in almost a week, I could not see any clear formulated oppinion against Scribus. I think Andreas went even so far to ask for a hand-drawn diagram. The solution is quite simple: 1. you think the documentation is weak - it's ok, nobody's perfect. Wikie is easy to lean. From that point on you can contribute with any problem you stumbled upon and which doesn't have a correspondent in the actual documentation. Even more: write it anyway even if it's a double and later on someone maybe will merge the two documents. 2. you think the interface is not that good. That is also ok. Use some graphic tool of your choice and make a picture of the wanted interface. No, not hand drawn as this isn't kindergarten. An actual version of the interface for anyone to see so they can imagine and come with improvements BEFORE the developers will take it into consideration. 3. you don't like the tools... write an essay about what you think it's missing, why it's missing and with a CLEAR description of the tool. Wiki can be your friend, as well as this list. 4. you feel there's a lack of friendliness for quickstarters. That is true also. Luckily you do have open clip art. But no easy to go, ready made templates. I'm with you. I agree there have to be some although I don't use them. Please please please - do it yourself, double check it to be usable than show it to the world. Problems like - Scribus is not friendly - Scribus should be better - Scribus should be more like something I used before - Scribus lacks documentation - Documentation is hard to find and any other generic issue are just a waste of time and a waste of bandwidth. And both are related to money. So let's get richer by not wasting any of those two!
