Re: [Cooker] HELLO MANDRAKE - AbiWord Can't Install

[Jason Greenwood]

It is quicker to load, lighter in weight, and more similar to MS Word for those who have just migrated. It is also MUCH LESS resource hungry for lower powered (or lower disk space) machines. There are other reasons as well but they escape me right now.

PS, isn't OSS all about choice anyway??
PPS, I would like to see it back in main...

AbiWord was moved to Contrib some time ago because of
font problems.  They are probably no longer issue in
current development releases in AbiWord.  At some
point when fcrozat gets time, he should probably
package it and move it back to main (so long as the
bug of the font system picking up Abi's fonts is
fixed, I don't have a current cooker installation
anymore to see).
    

I'm not sure moving it back to main is a priority.  Is there anything it
does better than OO.org?
