Christoph, You are talking about www.scribus.net [4] right? It looks absolutely amazing! Nice work. If that is the level of work Carsten delivers than he is more than a great addition to the team.
If I could however give one suggestion to improve on the website it would be the download area. Currently this is just a list of links pointing to sf.net. It would be great if one would able to get a pre-selected option based on the visitor's browser (platform / architecture) and if desired to change it manually. This is what you see on a lot of software sites and helps determine quickly what needs to be downloaded.It's like a service to the visitor so to speak. Some examples: - http://www.blender.org/download/ - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ - https://www.python.org [5] (just hover over download) - https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ The code to realize this is pretty straightforward in PHP. If desired I can help. Regards, Darius Christoph Sch?fer schreef op 26 mei '15: > Hi gang, > > 1.5.0 has been officially announced, and the new website is online.
