This question doesn't get asked much by long-time Linux folks, but as we add
more and more AbiWord developers who are most comfortable on other platforms
(Win32, BeOS, MacOS, etc.), many of them start by asking:

  "what are the unwritten rules of the community?"
  "how does the development process work?"

My only answer to date has been pretty thin:

So here are some excellent meatier answers from other Open Source all-stars:
