[Scribus] Imposition is a way to put Scribus in a strong position at the professional publishing game

[LinuxLingam]

imposition is a much-needed feature.

alongwith ability to manage inks,

to map spot inks as spot-inks or as halftoned (CMYK) colors. to save
production costs or when a special ink is not available.

again, this leads us to another issue with imposition: shingling.
and then again, with ability to import other files, like ads from ad
agencies, to impose into a print sheet.

so bottomline: let's aim to have scribus produce a top-class
production-intensive magazine at a professional level. so many more
issues, like handling gate-folds, special inserts, continued on... [pg
number], specially numbered sections, ad-inserts, table-of-contents,
special inks, ....

will get resolved. if you want, i could start such a magazine
publication project for you guys. yes, i volunteer. it won't be a
realworld magazine, but perhaps a magazine to showcase and at the same
time test, the features of scribus. will create this under the FDL. and
of course, others can contribute. who knows, in doing so, we may end up
with new features not even thought about so far, such as collaborative
and concurrent design and production of a publication.

the final output is always published as a PDF/x3 file and available for
downloads.

what do you guys say?
