dear scribuser,<br><br>today @ LGM, i've attended the libreoffice conference on file formats<br>reverse engineering. fridrich and valentin were proud of the fact that<br>scribus has started implementing the support for using their library to<br>import publisher files.<br><br>and now they want bug reports!<br><br>so if you have access to publisher files, please get the scribus trunk,<br>compile it, import your files, report bugs on what does not work as you<br>would expect!<br><br>if you want help out, please get in touch with me, so that we can find<br>out how the process should work.<br><br>if you can't compile the scribus trunk, we should be able to find a<br>solution: don't worry!<br><br><br>and there are good news for the future, too!<br><br>i've asked, what they would think about reverse engineering the<br>indesign file format.<br>and they didn't say no :-)<br><br>but they need one or more people preparing for them lot of test
.idd<br>files.<br>those files will have to introduce one element at a time (and be<br>accompanied by a description of what the file contains. as a text file:<br>fridrich and valentin won't be able to see the content of your file<br>before having reverse engineered it!).<br><br>it's a lot of work also for the person(s) preparing the file and it<br>requires:<br>- having a copy of indesign (if possible correctly licensed)<br>- being willed (and skilled) to do very systematic work<br><br><br>any volunteer?<br><br><br>greetings from madrid<br>a.l.e<br><br>___<br>Scribus Mailing List: <a ymailto="mailto:scribus@lists.scribus.net" href="mailto:scribus@lists.scribus.net">scribus@lists.scribus.net</a><br>Edit your options or unsubscribe:<br>http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus<br>See also:<br>http://wiki.scribus.net<br>http://forums.scribus.net<br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
