Creation of an entirely new sample magazine (Rembrandt)

• Contributors: C_Schaefer
• Status: in progress
• Comment: Front and back cover are almost finished. Lots of things to learn already by re-creating the two pages :) I will now continue with the inside of the cover pages and then create another 4 pages of content. In the end, our Rembrandt mini magazine will have 8 pages/4 resp. 2 sheet. After following all or most of the steps to be described, an average talented user should be able to make prolific use of Scribus.

Creation of an entirely new sample magazine (about Scribus community)

• Comment:
  • I've some pictures of the scribus crew in Lyon: you can use them for the tutorial if you whish (a.l.e).

Creation of an entirely new sample magazine (about using Scribus)

• Contributors:
• Status:
• Comment:
  • Since Scribus is not the best tool (in its actual state not even a good tool) to create a tutorial, i don't think it's a good idea to base a tutorial on writing a tutorial. Andreas' idea about a leaflet or a flyer (marketing) is imho better (a.l.e).

Polish version

• Contributors: See Pierwsze_kroki_ze_Scribusem:Autorzy
• Status: done
• Comment: the Polish version focuses on the unstable version of Scribus and differs – intentionally, btw – from the English version

German version

• Contributors: See Einstieg_in_Scribus:Mitwirkende
• Status: in progress
• Comment:

Brazilian version

• Contributors: See Ludi Maciel
• Status: Entendendo o Scribus in progress...
• Comment: I also have decided to focus on 1.3.3.X/1.3.X (it really makes more sense now, indeed)... Gostaria da ajuda dos lusos-brasiliros se possível, afinal, tempo é escasso.
