Hello,

I'm using Scribus 1.1 via Fink (OS X 10.2.8)and am looking forward to
putting it through the paces in a production environment. So far the
results are promising (my earlier experiences, documented in my blog, were
not as good and reflected my own steep learning curve with X11). I'm still
curious, though, about the prospects for a fully-native OS X port. I know
that Benjamin Reed of KDE/Fink did a "proof-of-concept" port earlier this
summer, but it wasn't particularly functional, and I don't think he plans
to update it. Does the Scribus team have anything official in the works?
It would be nice to be able to access all OS X fonts and run the program
without the overhead of X11. Not a big deal, but just thought I'd ask.

Cheers,
