How Can I Help


 * 1) Projects related to the EasyHack tag and/or Low Hanging Fruit


 * 1) List current ongoing Scribus projects and who is working on that (roadmap stuff)

Perspective
An interaction on IRC the other day: honestly... if you can code c++ this is a dream project it's the only software of its kind it's professional grade and there's 12000 bugs you can be busy for the rest of your life imagine if this software picks up a big customer/client and they want to put it on 1000 machines and you're an expert on it and know the codebase its either indesign, ms pub, or this quark is dead right? for software my computer can't even run scribus is one bug fixing iteration, a feature iteration, and a ux iteration, away from being really solid i take it 1.5 is the first one of these you guys have to get it solid on ubuntu and fedora though that would be priority imo

A list of tasks

 * Migrate Python Scripts to Scripter2
 * Indic RTL script (link aggregation of all related bugs in one place)
 * help review and test new features (new importer)
 * Write documentation for new import formats
 * Better seamless updates of the git repos with the svn so the devs that use git don't need to be concerned and jump right in to their work.
 * Barcode_Plugin_Development
 * Get MrScribe (IRC bot) to post links to mantisBT if referenced in #scribus freenode
 * Create documentation on how to compile the scribus documentation (scribus-doc folder)

Ideas

 * Python script repository
 * Creating a python script repo
 * UI for accessing scripts via Scribus (think this exists already)
 * Spiffy 'ReadTheDocs' type of manual on how to code Scribus python scripts with screenshot examples for each script
 * Perhaps use a github gist model: http://mattikus.github.io/pygist/


 * Think about migrating away from MantisBT
 * Reasons:
 * Move away from the barred entry access of the bugracker (example: where users need to write for permission to open an account - unless there some psychology around why this is set up like this)
 * Better captcha support
 * Support different authentication schemes, oauth with gitbub, bitbucket, stackexchange etc..
 * Integrated wiki in to bug tracker. (Separate from main site)
 * Autogenerated roadmap and with wiki integration so no need to manually edit wiki Roadmap pages
 * Support for 3rd party services like:
 * OpenHatch: 'is a non-profit dedicated to matching prospective free software contributors with communities, tools, and education.'
 * BountySource: The funding platform for open-source software. Improve the open-source projects you love by creating/collecting bounties and pledging to fundraisers!
 * Possible solutions:
 * Trac
 * Github
 * Gitlab
 * The Bug Genie


 * Create a template repo where users can share and collaborate on templates
 * Replace scribusstuff.org as the go to resource for scribus related templates etc...


 * Utilizing a Continuous Integration software like Jenkins
 * The builds could be set to build bi-monthly and ideally would contain all supported platforms (example: Gimp)
 * Automatic building of different linux packages
 * Automatic building & upload of release ZIP's
 * Run tests on more platforms (Windows, OS X, FreeBSD, Ubuntu)
 * The possibility to automagically builds docs from the code ?


 * can this script be useful at all ? gif animation latex generator
 * Online Code Reviewer
 * Gerrit Web based code review and project management for Git based projects. (example)

Farfetched

 * Scribus interface have the look&feel&speed of apps like Sublime Text v3 (gui) or Light Table (gui)
