Subject: Re: [scribus] Introducing: Scribus Templates
<br>
<br>
Dear Norbert,
<br>
<br>
thank you for your initiative and for sharing here. I had a look at your
<br>
site and first impression is nice.
<br>
<br>
Our project will probably never use any template, as our stuff and our
<br>
readers are in a very-not-mainstream niche. Still templates can be one
<br>
helpful aspect for learning about all the powers of Scribus.
<br>
<br>
If I ever have time, I will contribute a template plus sample database
<br>
to show the awesome Scribus Generator in action.
<br>
<br>
Now from me one question, one hint and one mild correction:
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
How do you want the attribution for your template CC licence? I do not
<br>
see that it would make our posters any prettier, if we had to print an
<br>
attribution "just for the template". Would you accept an attribution and
<br>
licence info in the meta-data of any exported PDF-document? And what
<br>
about printed documents? Minimum font-size? ... In books and magazines
<br>
we are having a dedicated page for "legal matters", but what about
<br>
one-page stuff or packaging or WhatsApp serial-proverbs... Have a look
<br>
at all the different things created by Scribus on the "success stories"
<br>
web-pages and write some practical ideas how the attribution could be
<br>
correct but not deface the products.
<br>
Maybe you could offer your contributors the option to tick "public
<br>
domain" and thereby free the end-user from licence and attribution
<br>
hassle? I love that at Openclipart.org and at Pixabay.com (both as a
<br>
user and as a humble contributor).
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have been here for several years and I have never seen or heard the
<br>
core Scribus developers ask for any money. As you are pointing out
<br>
rightly, there are always costs... So they must have some sweet secret,
<br>
maybe an oil-well or whatever. Just to give you that context and let you
<br>
decide how much you want to shout.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Lastly, I propose your slogan should be "Let's make Scribus more sexy!"
<br>
because - as far as any computer tool can be - Scribus is rather hot
<br>
already!!
<br>
<br>
<br>
All the best for your project; I love all the good stuff and the sharing
<br>
coming to this list.
<br>
<br>
Martin
