Hi,

Welcome. 

The best place to look is first our roadmap here:

http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/1.3.x_Roadmap
and
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/1.3.x_Roadmap_Extras

If we missed anything: http://bugs.scribus.net

The current 1.2.x versions are 'stable' and are mostly feature frozen.

We have started the long road to Scribus 1.4 which will aim to add the 
major pieces which will make it especially publisher friendly.

Already there is Scribus 1.3.0cvs which is 'alpha'.. mostly stable and 
working, but *not* yet suitable for production use. A quick look at 
it will give you the general direction and new features.

That said, there is very much a 'community' here and a very lively IRC 
channel also.

Cheers,
Peter
