Hi Landon,

I like the layout, it's nice, but do you think (I don't know anything
about Scribus) that transforming your texts to Scribus is "scalable"?
Do you have your text in and ODT and Scribus consumes it?

At the Spanish Free GIS Book we have more or less 400 pages of text
written in LaTeX and we don't think about changing a lot the layout
apart from minor changes to improve the appearance.
