Yes, we should use Scribus to do it. In fact, it should probably be a github project to attract contributors. This way we can patch what needs to be patched when stuff changes in subsequent releases.
Sounds like you have a solid step one Chris.
Here's the inkscape-docs group on gitlab, EVERYONE should join, there should be a button to join:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape-docs
And here's the new book/manual/docs project where files can be put:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/manuals
I recommend using the wiki attached to the project to plan the adventure slowly. Add a bit at a time and don't rush to have something "complete" but have something small produced.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
Already subscribed to the doc project on Gitlab.
Sorry guys. I know I do am asking for a LOT... but it never hurts to gather opinions from others as well.
Cheers,
