Hi,

Я тут немного пособачился насчёт внутреннего формата Scribus и
вот что из этого вышло...

discuss на openoffice.org may be a good start.

As for getting OOo doc files into Scribus, it shouldn't really be a
problem. I had a chat with the OOo lads at the NIA bash on Tuesday
night who became excited (to say the least) over the descriptions of
Scribus - they did know what it was, but hadn't looked at it. As I
had my laptop with me, they were able to see that the XML Scribus
generates and that of OOo docs should really not be too hard to do.
With any luck, the 1.1 release will have it in - lots has to be done
before that...

Another fun thing which happened was that I have had an email from
someone at Quark who wanted to know how the Quark importer was going
to work given it was closed (I think they wanted an admission of
reverse engineering). While they were not exactly over the the moon
with my reply, they didn't put up a bar on the development, but did
request that the plugin is kept closed source. After about 5 seconds
of thought though, the one word which cross my mind was
naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :-) 

TTFN
