Let me quote from the Wiki Main Page: "The documentation available here has been contributed by Scribus users for Scribus users and is not authorised by the Scribus team ? for official documentation please see Scribus Online Documentation" So the message is rather clear: "Hey, this is just a wiki, refer to the official docs, if in doubt". Our Scribus Wiki is an highly unofficial, highly dynamic, independent exchange platform which is driven almost entirely by Scribus _users_ (like Christoph, Gregory, or Ludi, myself, and recently yourself too, to name only a few). They've spent hundreds (literally!) of hours of their time shaping it, writing wiki docs, and what's perhaps even more important, encouraging other people to take part, to form a community around it. Now, at last, we've got a Scribus Wiki community, and I must say I consider it itself a big achievement, something the Scribus team can be proud of. In the meantime, many of these people are quite familiar with using Mediawiki (it was a major obstacle at the beginning more than 2 years ago), and are capable to develop it in every direction they desire. Sorry for these overlong explanations, but they'll hopefully help you to understand, why the official docs and the wiki are to be treated differently and never merged. Either sites docs.scribus.net and wiki.scribus.net are differently licenced, have different scopes and purposes (the main purpose of the wiki is to get Scribus users to help each other with their know how in a more well formed and reusable way than this mailing list), and are managed by different people. Besides, you've raised some valid questions about the structure of the Scribus wiki, but I'd rather discuss them within the Wiki (the discussion tab of the Main page or even a separate discussion article), and not on this mailing list. Please contribute your proposals there, or even help to implement them. cheers Maciej
