  1. Scribus file format is fully documented on Scribus 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    The truly brilliant thing about Scribus, of course, is that its file format is totally free and open. If Quark / Adobe/ whoever really cared about their customers, they would take the 5 minutes it took to make a filter to go to/ from the Scribus format, instead of forcing people to waste time trying to reverse engineer their little data vaults.

    Is Scribus as good as Quark? No, it is better. Simply because your data is not sealed up in an unknown format.

    People who really care about doing desktop publishing should start using Scribus, submitting problem reports and wishlist items, and if they have the interest and skill, start doing a little hacking.

  3. penguin, uhm, turtle graphics on Teaching Programming Skills to Children? · · Score: 1

    I am working on a library to help newer programmers get started with programming. The first section uses something like turtle graphics, but it is all written in and controlled with python and pygame. The first game is pong. There are also a bunch of demos and a couple of other games with the distribution. It is available at: http://www.nongnu.org/pygsear/
