Let me clarify one thing. In case of LibreOffice, reverse engineering for a 3rd party software project works best when there is: 1) at least one person who systematically generates files to look into and provides consulting to r-e team (ale covered that); 2) at least one person to study the file format (it's what re-lab+LIbreOffice joint team currently does); 3) at least one developer (again, re-lab+LIbreOffice); 4) at least one developer from that 3rd party project to write integration code for LibreOffice's libraries. Personally, I think that the way things are going is far from perfection. So far Fridrich already wrote integration code for both Inkscape (libcdr) and Scribus (libmspub). Inkscape's team then integrated LO's work on libvisio, so I really, really hope that Scribus team will act likewise: (wo)man up and make it a joint effort :) P.S. Master branch at git://git.scribus.net/scribus.git has latest changes from Jan 7 14:38:32 2013 +0000. I did do 'pull --rebase'. Alexandre Prokoudine http://libregraphicsworld.org
