If you’ve ever wondered why people say tools like Scribus aren’t ready for professional production work let me share this blog post by @davidrevoy

This should be a slam dunk. David knows what he’s doing and One Bookshelf provides instructions that clearly show how to produce a PDF to their specifications.
We need to do better, folks. Color Profiles that work for everyone except FOSS tools are unacceptable. Period. There are no excuses for this.

in the wake of this post and comments.
i accept that free software is often far behind it’s proprietary analogues. we, the society must learn to not take it for granted.
we must pay to the creators to support their work. we must hire developers around us to contribute our desired patches. we must set up bounties for necessary features.
thus we will encourage development of free software.
because free doesn’t mean free-ware, it’s not as free beer but as free speech.
software requires investments like tree requires water.
