Tom's being too modest. We've historically been a bit lax about this kind
of communication, which makes it difficult for new developers on a specific
platform to know where they should focus their efforts.
In an attempt to do a better job of communicating what's needed, Tom has
started maintaining a Windows-specific developer page here:
http://www.abisource.com/~tom/
Likewise, Thomas Fletcher has a QNX-specific page here:
http://staff.qnx.com/~thomasf/abiword/
For a lower-tech version of a similar idea, Tomas Frydrych maintains a text
file with notes on the status of his bidi efforts in the source tree:
abi/BiDiReadme.txt
Thanks for offering to do something similar for the Be port. It should be
tremendously useful.
Paul,
not a member of the Tom* conspiracy
