Well. We plan to publish the FTGUIX guidelines as soon we release FTOSX, 
and including
the base software enhancements.

When we will announce we will have the CD installable including the all 
the enhancements.
Only when we have all ... we will publish.

Scribus belong to FTOffice a set of GPL Office applications, including 
OpenOffice
and others.

We need to complete the installer to announce. I working on this matter.

If once published the scribus developers likes ... everyone will be happy.

We will release scribus 'as is' including the actual file extension, etc.

We are using the latest version.
