i don't really like the idea of always comparing the features of free 
software with some random proprietary applications...

i'd really prefer to talk about ideas and -- possibly -- come up with 
better, simpler, more elegant solutions.


if we keep referring to the existing proprietary apps, we won't ever 
change the perception that we just produce bad copies of existing 
software...

personally, i was thinking about a way to store some information in the 
scribus frame's properties and having a script or plugin connecting to a 
wiki's API and syncronizing / locking the content.
the wiki / cms should be able to keep some hidden formatting which are 
only meaningful on the DTP side and scribus should learn to share more 
of the formatting information with the scripter engine...


have a nice afternoon!
a.l.e


p.s.: this does not mean that we should look at how other people solve 
similar problems... we should just try to find our own way through it...
