All,

It apparently is a matter of controvercy if we are to (try to) get tables
working or not for 1.0.

Many are the voices claiming "we can't release 1.0 without tables". Many of
those voices don't know diddley about programming tables I'd suspect
(please, don't be offended if you do).

So what do we do? Should we perhaps create a small group of developers
looking into the problems with tables and let them say "Can do" or "Can't
do"?

I know that Tables aren't scheduled for 1.0, but with this response (not to
mention news-sites that over 6 months ago mentioned "Well, AW is cool, but
it doesn't do tables") perhaps an AbiWord Tables Working Group (AWTWG is
longer than a TLA, and just as unpronouncable :-) ).

I don't suggest we do this, I just suggest we take this posibility into the
1.0 equation.

/Mike
