</div></div>Hi Kunda,<br>
<br>
I guess that would be me on the Scribus team. I'm currently sidetracked with<br>
refactoring the PDF code. After that I'll return to RTL + nonlatin scripts.<br>
As soon as I have the necessary infrastructure changes in place, I'll create a<br>
project on Github and ask for people to join the effort.<br>

I appreciate your reply and work. </div><div><br></div><div>Just an idea: in my mind it would be awesome if we incorporated the practice of hearing from the core-devs from time to time. Maybe on a blog like <a href="http://rants.scribus.net">rants.scribus.net</a> ? I know that for example, MrB is oriented toward diminishing the bug count on Mantis as well as putting the finishing touches on a dedicated OSX bleeding edge nightly generator. Jghali has been as well but I'm not sure the full orientation. It would be cool to get a bi-weekly check-in with possible news. You could all send me news and I'd be happy to post it. </div>
