I can very much appreciate the work that went into this product, and I 
applaud the team for this unexpectedly fast release.

Something to point out (that I'll admit I didn't notice on my own) is 
that there is generally a failure to use typographic quotes in the text 
of the magazine. It may be arguable, but some would say that there 
should be a small space between text and following ellipsis.

I also want to make you aware that, at least as of recent 1.3.9svn 
releases of Scribus, my AutoQuote script is included, which will 
automatically convert typewriter quotes and apostrophes to typographic 
double and single quotes (not guaranteed to be flawless, but it seems 
pretty good).
