I think the implementation of adaptive Layouts is beyond the scope of my SoC Proposal. For my diploma thesis I've read some scientific papers about adaptive layout techniques (if you are interested, I can send them to you) and I think this is no trivial task. As far as I know the development of adaptive layout is still a field of scientific research. Nevertheless there are existing prototypes. If the content comes out of a CMS it would be great to have some kind of adaptive layout so you don't have to shape your content so that it fits into your layout. How do you plan to implement the creation of such layouts in Scribus? (All prototypes I know use XSL-FO). How do you plan to describe adaptive content elements? timo
