hi,

Adobe inDesign is really expensive, it doesn't run on Linux and it uses
proprietary formats. For me that's 3 good reasons to use Scribus instead.

I'm not an expert but it seems to me that scribus is perfectly able to
do that kind of documents. Moreover if we want to set up some kind of
"collaborative propaganda", we should talk about the tools we want to use.

Do we have a chance to see a scribus version of this document ?
