I asked the Scibus folks what they think about it and they like the idea
of working together. They suggested that if someone in the plone
community is interested in mentoring me, that he or she should add him
or herself to the Scribus team's mentors in the gsoc interface.

The draft for my GSoC application can be found here:

A more detailed description and the current status of the discussion
with the scribus community can be found here:

If someone is interested in discussing my proposal, please let me know.
I'm also available for discussion in the #plone irc channel (timo_)

ps: I'm thinking about another application for GSoC with the Plone
Foundation as mentor organisation. Is there a list which proposals are
still vacant?
