Scripts distributed with Scribus

Scripts from the Scribus Wiki

The most popular Scripts from the Wiki should be ported to Scripter 2. Until after the release of 1.6 (with Scripter 2) we will have to keep both versions of the scripts in there.

Other Scripts can be ported later, after people will have started using them

Scripts from the community

We will get in touch with people having "private" scripts and help them migrate their scripts. It may be a chance to get a list of such scripts or pushing some people to make their scripts public.
