A suggestion I would like to make is something I'm at least experimenting with in new script articles. I've added a small preface to the article which would give a brief overview of the Scribus tasks that the script includes, since in many cases I find that I am looking for further information on syntax and associated information which is needed to do something useful.<br>
<br>
For example, to add a text frame with content, you need to create the frame, put text into it, choose the font, its size, color and perhaps other features, which ends up being a block of commands. I also look for ways to see Python in practice for more efficient and reusable code.<br>
<br>
Examples of this are at:<br>

<br>
<a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Generating_a_Code39_Barcode" target="_blank">http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Generating_a_Code39_Barcode</a><br>
<br>
Beyond this, I eventually want to edit the Beginner's Scripts page to provide an indicator of the commands that are used in a particular script.<br>
<br>
For example (probably will require a table environment):<br>
<br>
Generating a Code39 Barcode haveDoc, valueDialog, messageBox, createLine, setLineWidth, setLineColor, setFillColor, setText, setFont, setFontSize, setTextAlignment<br>
<br>
I think that whenever you can see the particular collection of commands in action in a script it will be much more efficient than the online documentation.<br>
<br>
An additional feature of this is that both of these types of documentation can be done by anyone editing the wiki, so perhaps we can as a group bring up the utility of this section of the wiki.<br>
