[Scribus] Plug-in for Imposition?

[el Sismógrafo , S.L.]

As Scribus is moving towards a 2.0 release, it is slowly becoming an 
additional option for professionals that have to deal with big scale printing 
like editors, service bureaus, and of course printers.
You won't expect a firm to switch its entire workflow just like that to a new 
program, however, I decided to do some pages of our main product with 
Scribus, just to give it a try. I will tell you next month how it went.

By the way, there is one issue I would like to have some more opinions about:
Following the subjects mentioned on the list I have noticed that there are a 
lot of cuestions related to imposing (even if some people are not aware of 
their cuestion being actually related to it ;-). If you have a look at the 
python scripts for scribus you will also notice that quite a few of them are 
also related to imposition (bleeds, crops, turning etc.). Though with the 
production of pdfs imposition is not a major issue anymore, there are no apps 
for linux available for doing imposition jobs. You have to do the rest of the 
job on a OSX or XP box. Plus, you need a seperate application for imposition. 
Furthermore, I think that the integration of imposition into an app through a 
plugin offers quite a few advantages. If you do not understand what I am 
talking about, have a look at the corel draw/photo paint print preview with 
their options. In spite of their bad reputation and the huge amount of probs 
in a production environment that these programs are famous for, I must admit 
that they have done a good job on this one. 

Anyway, I do not know if there is enough demand/need for having a scribus 
extension for imposing purposes. What does the folk say about that?
