    I suggest using "machines dedicated for testing". I think it would be great
    to find guys who will dedicate some computers for AbiWord testing purposes
    only. Machines in all suported systems and its versions. Such machines should
    be registered in AbiWord development team. Such machines will have defined
    installed software etc. Maybe this is the way for reproducing and confirming
    bugs.
