Product Description:
Scribus is an open-source program that brings award-winning professional page layout to Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows desktops with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches to page layout. Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, separations, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation. Scribus/Aqua is a port of Scribus to a native Aqua build using Qt Free for MacOSX.
Note: Version 1.3.3.2 is the latest version that is included with this installer. Version 1.3.3.3 can be downloaded for other OS's. The first launch of Scribus or when a new user launches Scribus will be much longer than usual. This is because Scribus is creating a cache file of your fonts. Later re-starts will be much quicker.

Mac-Friendly Pkg Installer Please - Version: 1.3.3.10, 1/9/2008 12:48AM PST

I agree with the other comments here. This developer would have a lot more success with distributing his program amongst typical Mac users if he/they took the time to compile the program first. Many inexperienced Mac users don't have a clue regarding what the XCode Developer tools are, are still afraid of the Terminal, and wouldn't know how to begin to compile a program from source. Macs are all about being user-friendly; remember? :)

Where can I find the intel or universal binary version ?
Running the PPC version with Rosetta is very slow on my mac.

Then I found out that you couldn't type directly into the textboxes. I found the work around in the Read-Me text on the Scribus website, involving using the "story editing" and the "dummy text" So I did that, and I typed away... then clicked on an outside web browser, for a second, and there was nothing left. Control Z! no effect -- it wasn't something I did. I went to the website and tried to enter a new bug report, but it wasn't possible, or obvious. I tried to download the noted stable versions from the Scribus website, but they are only offered in code...So then I rewrote everything, and was going strong, when I thought I should save the text somewhere... and I copied opened a text file... and pasted *nothing* and then Scribus crashed. All the text gone.
Please fix this program, or make the stable versions available and compiled. and seriously, that Story-editing feature is kind of dumb... Especially with the memory leak, and crashing. In order for this to be a proper Desktop Publishing program, you need to be able to edit in the page.
But I'm really thrilled that this exists... I just wished it didn't eat my text, and waste my time, ad make things complicated.
