one of the tasks i have in this year OIF project is to create a platform 
with tasks to be done.
i think that there is enough people around, who would like to contribute 
but does not know what he/she could do for scribus!

i plan to publish a list of "requirements"  for the platform very soon 
(probably this week)
(btw, we don't need to create a new platform... once the requirements 
are defined, the best thing that could happen is that we found an 
existing platform to use for it!)


and, yes, we could have gadget to distribute to people contributing!

t-shirts with "i am a scribus contributor"* and "i layout with scribus"* 
on it would be really wonderful!
