[scribus] Question about handling pdf in scribus

[silvio grosso]

Hello everybody,

I read an interesting article about Scribus and I am curious about it.

More precisely, I read that last year the "Swiss Open Systems User Group" sponsored a project in order to handle pdf files in Scribus in a better way. 
The link to get more information about this project is: http://cofundos.org/project.php?id=94

I am wondering if such a project was completed or not?
Does it need more funding?
In short, is it possible to try this new feature in Scribus 1.3.5 (the unstable version)?

Thanks a lot in advance for your answer.

Best regards,

Silvio
