Andrea Bernardi, from OSDrawer, wrote me a couple of days ago (sorry for taking so long Andrea) about the AbiWord port project hosted there, and its progress. As of July 5th, there's a pre-alpha build available for everyone to download and try for themselves. This project was started by the ZETA team and has since moved to OSDrawer, where it's been making good progress, as you'll be able to see from the screenshots below. When this becomes fully usable, it'll help fill a blank niche for Haiku. Great work.

P.S.: Thanks Dave for the e-mail about this as well :)

AbiWord on Haiku.

AbiWord on R5

RAR? Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it on 2007-07-07 21:03:21 why is the package in RAR format? This isn't natively supported by BeOS or Haiku and does not support BFS attributes, and the file size difference between it and zip on ELF binaries is, well, miniscule.

why RAR Written by fyysik on 2007-07-08 04:32:09 Because it (2.* tree "re-porting") was "started" by russian developer "knorr" actually, and only then picked at last minute by Zeta team.  And russians traditionally like RAR format.  (I don't, btw)

OsDrawer dizzy :( Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it on 2007-07-08 14:20:18 hey all!! Thanks for the post, unfortunately our automatic back up went dizzy and upped a couple of days old db. In this way the last updates (files, bugs, svn...) got lost. we are all working hard to get everything back in place as soon as possible. by then all the links will be working again    Andrea,  OsDrawer Team

that not are reason Written by knorr on 2007-07-08 18:50:41 There is two part of rar archive, because osdrawer allows to upload files with size not greater then 2MB.

Source Written by Konrad on 2007-07-09 03:59:22 Is the source includeed? I might find some time during my vacation to code some in BeOS. I havent got the time to check it out. Is it hard to setup?
