First of all, we don't sell the official user manual. It's done by someone else who asked and got a confirmation that it's legal. There's also nothing particularly tedious about downloading a PDF file. > So what model should Scribus follow? In the case of Inkscape the > manual author and the publisher of same is one person. No and no. 1. Tav's manual is a de-facto manual, not de jure. It was so easy to refer to the online version that it kind of became the default manual. But it's not a community project (which is fine with me). 2.. Tav is not the publisher. Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org
