There are few things to do.

   - Earlier a.l.e asked me to submit patch in small pieces instead of big
   one. This is yet to be done.
   - The Harfbuzz used is now internal. External harfbuzz support yet to be
   done.
   - There are still dependency with ICU library at few places. This has to
   be removed.
   - Till few months back I have sychronised the indic branch with that of
   master branch. However, it is not synchronised with latest change. I could
   not push few latest changes in my local copy to indic branch, as I failed
   to do it with my authentication. If it is set ok, I shall update it.

More publications in Malayalam expressed their idea of migrating to
Scribus.

I have further plan to add an editorial work-flow plug-in based on
PostgreSQL, as a separate project.

 Earlier, the Telugu daily was tested successfully with Scribus-indic.

The version in Indic branch of scribus git is used.   There are few more
changes done in my local copy.
