There is an effort to standardize the process of testing, cataloguing,
indexing,
and importing scripts into Scribus. It's no small task. It's happening on
github:
https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-script-repository

Now that Craig has added the Resource Manager (
http://scribus.net/websvn/revision.php?repname=Scribus&path=%2F&rev=19821&peg=20234)
there is a way to actually
import script in to scribus. So we wouldn't necessarily need to bundle
scripts
in it.

Cheers,
