Of course it would not solve all the problems - though I agree with Hans, that progress would probably be a lot faster. Apart from a Kickstarter campaign: wouldn't it make sense to give people the opportunity to make donations to Scribus? I guess a respectable amount of money could be raised by just implementing something on the Scribus website, eg. looking like www.gimp.org/donating/
The money raised could probably be used to eg. tender specific features to be developed or advertise Scribus. What do you think?
