The two basic categories are (1) imp/exp filters, and (2) tools - the latter being somewhat ambiguous. The third category is really "other stuff", the "svg" & "referee" projects being code examples more than anything useful, the "html" being half-baked in STABLE and disabled completely now in HEAD in favour of the "xhtml" importer plugin (which is really an HTML importer and/or a Multipart [X]HTML importer) - so it can get quite messy. > Hmm, and I guess some (one) worked for like 1.0.2 but not 1.0.3 (the one > mentioned in this thread that was not compiled for the latest stable -- > so the table should deal with that as well. sometimes the problem is with dependent libraries, whether libAiksaurus is the old GTK+-1.2 version or the new (and possibly broken) GTK+-2.0 version - who's in charge of aiksaurus these days anyway? > Are they all available from one location, or do we need a column in the > table to specify where (URL) to get the plugin? Most available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/abiword but old versions are generally hidden.
