Can we say we have a way to go? I think Greg's addition is *great* 
and will give anyone the confidence to post, and that they will get 
an answer they can understand. Like Peter puts it, it also keeps us 
on target: make Scribus work and get known by as many people as 
possible, and at the same time keeps us tightly together. The 
multilingual hints is a way of welcoming people and make them feel at 
home. I am with Christoph on this as well.
