I'm very pleased to announce that for the second time in a row, AbiWord has
been voted Show Favorite by attendees at the Linux World Conference and
Expo:

Last August we won in the "Productivity Application/Suite" category, and
this time we won the "Office Suite" category. Considering the feature sets
of our proprietary competitors, this is quite an accomplishment. It really
says a lot about how popular we already are with our users.

This award is the result of a lot of hard work by members of the AbiWord
community who've quietly kept focused on our end goal:

  building a product that Just Works

I know we spend a lot of time on this list focusing on the work we still
need to do to get to a 1.0 release that we can all be proud of.

However, now is a perfect time to take a little break and pat ourselves on
the back for this accomplishment. I know it really motivates me to keep
cranking on the product and figuring out ways to make it even better.

Congratulations!

Paul
