speed=new paradigm
by linuxlingam on Thursday 07/Oct/2004, @00:23

two aspects of speed exist when it comes to scribus.

The first: people complain scribus is slow when working on text in frames. True, but here is how you can get even faster speed than with traditional dtp apps. Use the story-edtior. think of it as a high-speed no-nonsense wordprocessor built into scribus. Don't touch text in frames, use this. And use the Properties palette. Fly-by-wire.

The second: remember the venerable pagemaker took almost a decade for an upgrade from version 6 to version 7. quark though much faster, took the traditional 'several years' for an upgrade too. scribus works on an almost daily upgrade. that is how the developers got those 700 bugs and wishlists fixed. i have been watching the development speed of scribus, when it was a squiggling sperm in a petri-dish. Someobody should just do a story on this process, speed, and rapid evolution, where developers and end-users merge into one gooey mess to scratch their personal itches every night.

Quite remarkable.
