There's some truth to be found in Joel's text here: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/PickingShipDate.html
80% of those reading the announcement with download AbiWord, find that it doesn't have tables, and will never ever touch it again. I'm sure enough people, who are not judging a product by features they don't use anyway, will find and start using AbiWord 1.0, even without announcing it all over the place. Just something to consider. Cheers, Jesper
