Scribus was the reason we started reverse-engineering MS Publisher files in the first place as it was a direct request from the team. It's also why we wrote OLE Toy which now reads much more than .pub files too :) Sadly, +1 year later with libvisio written and libcdr nearing a very mature state we still haven't heard from the Scribus team. A simple "sorry, we are just busy" would suffice. Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org
