Exporting to epub from Scribus

Hi people,

during the last few months I've been working -- among other things -- on a plugin which will export the content of a Scribus file to the epub format.

The epub generated should be of high quality, but the goal is not to transform Scribus in an epub editor. For now there will be very few option in the export dialog and nothing will be changed in Scribus to design the way the content will be exported to epub.
The epub generated should be usable as is, but for the one who want more control will have to work on their epub file in an editor like Sigil.

In my work, I've been using Sigil as a reference and I'd like to make sure that the file Scribus will be creating are perfectly compatible with what Sigil expects to find.

I have two questions to the Sigil community:

- can anybody test the plugin and give feedback on the epub created?
(the plugin is in the "epub" branch of our git repository: git://git.scribus.net/scribus.git ;
i should be able to create a PPA very soon)

- can any of the developer help me to find out why epubcheck gives the error:
ERROR: /tmp/text_simple.epub: Mimetype contains wrong type (application/epub+zip expected)
(i'm using the same zip library as sigil has i've found in Sigil, but in an older version)

I whish you a wonderful evening
