I agree that the fast development of Scribus is a problem for a static manual. But I think that the basics of Scribus - several kindes of frames, importing / exporting and so on, is more or less stable. The manual could be organized in two parts: one with the "basics" and one with the enhanced features. The latter one could be expanded as the development of Scribus goes on. Best, Tom
