[scribus-dev] cloud Scribus

[Stefan]

I'm interested in that.

Scribus can be made to work on a headless server. With an Xwindows
tool named Xvfb (x windows frame buffer) it renders all its UI-stuff
in that framebuffer.

You could then run a custom scribus script, which starts a http-Server
waiting for commands.

I have a working script with the server part, has to be expanded with commands.

I'm currently hacking on sth. like this, for a webbased publishing
tool. Users could select a template from a gallery, change some text /
images, and get a redy-to-print pdf and/or scribus file.
