[Scribus] Review of Scribus 1.1.4/1.1.5--mostly positive

[kevin]

After my ill-fated efforts to get Scribus building natively on OSX, I  
decided to do something that *is* within my skill set: give it a  
rigorous try in an actual publishing production setting. I used v.  
1.1.4 running under Fink/X1 to lay out a book cover (where I would  
normally use InDesign). My results with this project, both (mostly)  
good and (a few) bad, and full of pretty screen shots, are documented  
here:

production-setting.txt

If nothing else, I think this article has some usefulness because I  
haven't seen anything else written in detail from a professional  
production/publishing/design perspective about Scribus--most of the  
commentary is from a more general/non-power-user perspective. So, it's  
food for thought at the very least. I'd be interested to hear back any  
comments that folks might have.
