Introduction Scribus is an Open Source DTP (Desktop Publishing) application for Linux and other flavors of Unix and Unix-like systems, including Mac OS X , and Windows 2000 or later, as well as OS/2 / eComStation / ArcaOS. This Wiki has been created in order to give users a place to put HOWTOs, tips or ideas on using or enhancing Scribus. Large parts of the documentation available here have been contributed by Scribus users. However, as of December 2010, the Scribus wiki also hosts “official” documents provided by the Scribus Team. Not surprisingly, these are labelled “Official”. The content of the Scribus Help Browser, another set of “official” documents, is also available on the wiki. New Scribus Users Scribus newbies may enjoy starting with the tutorial The Wiki Category:Contents page may be a good starting point if you are looking for a particular category or a how-to. The category tree on the left side strives to present a structural view of all articles in the wiki. Be sure to click the [+] to see the various subcategories for help in finding what you're looking for. If you are using 1.4, please be sure to check the online manual (F1), which will likely give you much more up to date information than you will see on the documentation site. The Official Manual is available for order and shipping! Our own comprehensive manual, detailing everything you need to know to get started and use Scribus, is now shipping from Amazon and other online booksellers. The manual covers usage of the 1.3.3.x versions. See all Scribus books on the Scribus Books Page. Wiki Contributors and Editors Please see Your first Scribus Wiki contribution for information on account creation. Those who are interested in contributing should start with reading the Scribus Wiki contributor and editor hints to learn how to participate in improving and growing this wiki, which is the main clearing house for the Scribus online documentation. See Contribution Score Tables for information on the most active wiki writers and editors. Those are the people who could help you get started contributing to the Scribus Wiki as well. Scribus developers The Scribus Development section lists all developmental sub-projects and opportunities for interested people. The Development category is the main hub of documentation related to Scribus development, which can be used for a rapid lookup of the relevant section. The main areas of Scribus development consist, but are not limited to coding the Scribus core in C++/Qt4, writing plugins and scripts in C++ and Python respectively, translation of the Scribus interface and documentation, writing and maintenance of user documentation in the wiki and svn for the help browser, and user support in #scribus IRC channel on Freenode and on the Scribus mailing list.
