<br>
<br>
If you've been reading this list for a while you must know about
it: in the last few years I got more and more involved in the
Scribus community and, more generally, in the world of free
software for graphics. In 2013 lot of things will be different! A
"small revolution" -- for me -- that follows two unrelated events
from the last few months of 2012.
<br>
<br>
The first event was Femke's announcement of the device for the LGM
2013: "Future tools". I must admit that my first reaction has
been: "Where do you see any future tool?". Please, don't tell her.
With the time I got used to it, started liking the idea and even
got so far as collecting thoughts about Future tools for
publishing. It's still just a bunch of wild ideas and all I
currently know is: an Epub plugin for Scribus is not enough for
the future of publishing. I wanted to dig further.
<br>
<br>
A bit later, towards the end of last year, we got an email from
Christoph announcing the plans for a release candidate of Scribus
1.5.0. Two things stroke me:
<br>
- He plans one full year to get to a release candidate for a
development version (after two and a half years of work on the
branch!)
<br>
- None of the features I care about were among the tasks to be
achieved until then.
<br>
<br>
I started wondering if, with a year of work, a motivated team
couldn't produce something that -- while obviously not being
better than Scribus -- would better meet the publishing needs for
many more people.
<br>
<br>
Short before the end of last year, I've taken the decision: During
the next few months, I won't do any support nor community work for
Scribus. I won't make sure that on the Mailing List and in the
Forums questions are getting an answer. No checking of the new bug
reports each morning. I won't be testing the new commits in the
git branches or the svn trunk. And I won't keep an eye either on
what's happening in the IRC channel.
<br>
No, I won't disappear: but I will use those channels for my needs
and won't be there to help other people with their sorrows.
<br>
I will certainly finish the tasks I've started (the Epub plugin,
the translation into Italian of the Scribus book, ...), but I want
to reserve much more time for experimenting with new ideas and new
technologies. More details will follow very soon! You're welcome
to follow my adventures on Google+ and on the
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://impagina.org/blog/">http://impagina.org/blog/</a> (to be created).
<br>
<br>
See you soon
