Mathieu, I do know how to use Google, but at that time I was looking for
SVG but not for SLA. The first set of artwork I did with help from
Tatica was SVG and when it was finished I was told it was useless
because inkscape can't do CMYK and I had to use scribus SLA. If somebody
bothered to tell me this two months earlier nether me nor Tatica would
have wasted our time. This is all described in the ticket I linked,
please read it.

What I wanted to say:
     1. It's not as easy to just file a request and you are done.
     2. The media wrangler needs to be in a position to kick people in
        their buts if they don't react in a timely manner.
     3. I think it is very naive to think that now that we have a signed
        letter from Max all our problems will magically disappear.

Christoph
