Dear all, what's it that makes layout software great for using in reald-world design processes? The answer, of course, depends on the type of product you're designing. I startet a wiki page that briefly sums up my point of view regarding requirements for magazine layouts and I'd like to invite everybody to join the discussion:
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Discussion:_Practical_Needs_in_Layout_Software In this file, I've been collecting my ideas and experiences from nearly eight years of working on Linux-Magazin (Germany). I'm basically an editor and software developer, I've been designing and implementing workflows (for XPress and InDesign) and tools to support it and nowadays am also heading the layout team here. The motivation for this discussion page is to try to bridge the needs and wishes of designers, editors and developers. Achim -- Achim Leitner, Stellv.
