http://fr.flossmanuals.net/Scribus/ i'm one of the authors. > I can't imagine that the developers would reject a fully free manual > written by some voluntary author. with my answer i didn't want to force anybody to write a free manual for scribus. i was just stating that in my eyes, the advantages for scribus to have a free manual is much higher than the risk that someone would make unethical profits by selling an already written free manual. just my opinion. ciao a.l.e
