This is for the wiki, I suppose, but do you (or anyone) have any experience using scribus in this way? I think it is quite interesting

I am especially interested in scripting scribus so that it can ‘compile’ the versioned source files to a layout automatically.

You could call a scribus script on the post-commit hook of your versioning system

in many cases I guess Latex would be simpler for such a thing—but that has its limitations…
