School advocacy wrongly speaks about Scribus being Illustrator-like

Bug Description

Binary package hint: edubuntu-docs

School advocacy says: "<application>Scribus</application> provides layout and publishing capabilites similar to Adobe Illustrator.", while it should probably refer to Adobe InDesign instead. Since Inkscape may be the most strong of the graphics applications, usage of it could be also mentioned.

I would change it to "<application>Scribus</application> provides layout and publishing capabilities similar to Adobe InDesign. <application>Inkscape</application> is a powerful vector graphics editor."

Note also the spelling mistake "capabilites" I fixed.

Double-note that ubuntu-translators and ubuntu-doc mailing lists need to be informed on any changes to strings at this point, and upload to Rosetta must be done very quickly so that new translations may get into release, if this is changed.

I have changed the wording as suggested. Thank you for your bug report Timo Jyrinki, people reading that documentation might have got completely the wrong idea about what Scribus does, so very well done for noticing that ;).

Ben,

Thank for the patch.

I think you should also add the last sentence suggested by Timo, to mention Inkscape as well. Timo has also suggested fixing the typo in "capabilities", perhaps you could include that too.

We don't really need a changelog entry for documentation, because we tend to collect a few fixes together and upload them with a single changelog entry. But if you want to do a changelog entry for practice, it should be for karmic (we won't fix this bug in Jaunty). You should also try and be more descriptive in the changelog entry, so describe very briefly what change the upload fixes. The correct format to use for citing the Launchpad bug is "LP: #210771" because that will automatically close the bug when the package is uploaded.

Hey Matthew,

I'll see what I can do about those other suggestions ;).

I'll have a go at doing that changelog entry :).

Thanks!
Ben :)

Thanks for posting a patch. Since the source of the documentation is maintained in a bzr branch I'd suggest to turn the patch into a merge proposal by branching from the URL:

  bzr branch lp:edubuntu-docs

and then submit a Merge proposal as outlined in https://help.launchpad.net/BranchMergeProposals

Unsubscribing the sponsorship team for now.

Unsubscribing bencrisford, and setting Status to triaged -- no activity in a long time.
