Hi, Long time listener, first time caller ;-)
I'm trying to prepare an article on Desktop Linux, and one app I want to talk about is AbiWord, but there's a question I would like to clear up. I know that Table Support is penciled for 1.2, and the reason for this is that it's going to require a major rewrite of the display engine and file specification, what I'd like to know is what were the reasons that this functionality wasn't included from the outset, as the bugzilla voting seems to suggest it's something a lot of people consider to be a very important feature of a Word Processor? I use Abi for about 90% of my WP requirements, and the table support (along with corresponding improvements to the Word import filter) will probably give it the remaining 10%, in the meantime, really looking forward to 1.0 :) James -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 7.x) This email was created and sent with Ximian Evolution 1.0 NEW: Advogato diary at www.advogato.org/person/riggwelter *********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.
