I have been redoing a workbook originally written and laid out in OOo, as a tool to learn Scribus. In the past I have used QuarkXPress, PageMaker, InDesign, Ventura, and various other layout and graphics programs. I love Scribus, but when I go to the wiki to try to figure out how to do something I can't find it. Many times I later discover that my problem was not that the feature was missing but, rather, that I was searching with the wrong terminology.
The wiki needs a "translator," or better stated, a "see xxx" utility. I thought of creating this myself as a my small contribution to the project, but I can't think of all the terms. Every program has its own terminology, but corraling them all into one list is beyond me. I don't even always remember what a term a particular program used for a feature. And there are hundreds and hundreds of DTP terms. I thought if I posted this here on the list other users could chime in with suggestions for terms to include in a "terminology translator" from other programs to Scribus-ese. Ultimately this could be incorporated into the wiki so that when a new user searches for a term it will pop up with the Scribus equivalents. Am I crazy? Is this worth doing? Is this even possible?
