[scribus-dev] Question from OIF about new functions added in Scribus and funded by OIF

[ale rimoldi]

hi

from my side i commit in providing in a timely manner a stable and good
quality epub export plugin, not later as it's clear that a stable
release is in the pipeline.

i have some other priorities right now (and i'm waiting for some
features by cezary), but i can restart working on it as soon as it is
needed.
(and elisa already asked me to restart the work, because she can have a
use for it, even if it is not in a stable version. so it may happen very
soon, if the current "epub" branch is not enough for her)
(and the epub branch in git contains a non finished but working version
of the epub plugin)

for the overview palette, the development is indeed on hold. ... and a
bit not such a priority for me right now.
the functionality is somehow there, but the hard part is to find a way
to use qt designer to create a cleaner and more flexible structure to
show the list of pages.

i've added it to my tasks towards the end  of summer, but i can't
promise that i will succeed in achieve the goal. but i will try. really.

if i find a workable solution the code will be provided and proposed for
inclusion into the trunk before the end of the year.

have fun
