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
