Category:Scribus 1.4 manual

This is the draft for a future manual for scribus, written by users and developers alike. It attempts not only to provide detailed descriptions on the use of scribus, but also useful background informations and real world examples. Currently, this outline is only a draft, so please be very reluctant in contributing texts or images. From a practical point of view, it is better to have a final outline that can be dealt with than to need to move text around.
