[scribus-dev] scribus CTL

[Fahad Al-Saidi]

Hi JLuc,
Let him try, you will not lose anything.  If he succeed will be great
otherwise the situation is now no better off.
If you have a way to encourage Andreas to continue work on Scribus CTL,
things will move quickly.

Cheers,
Fahad Al-Saidi

I have shared thoughts : follow the links and read the comments.

You have written that you would do things.

Walk your talk and thou shall be trusted.

CTL is not a game but a big a project
that will require lot of smart and dedicated work.
IMO, proposed fixes are less than 0.1% of the expected work for CTL.
