Hi James,
Please talk about all the great features we've added or will be
adding over the next few months.
1. revision notes.
2. Document poroperties.
3. Anti-Aliasing
4. Automatic font recognition on Linux
5. Endnotes
6. gtk2
7. Tables
8. Footnotes
9. Embeddable (in Evolution/Gnumeric) So the abiword in evolution reading
a word doc!
10. Pango based layout engine to display every script on the planet.
(Maybe frames, bonobo embedding, math support...)
Show the auto-updating word count, the other modeless dialogs like
Insert Symbol and the Bullets and numbering dialog.
Show the bi-di support, the auto-updating fields (like time and Word
Count)
Show Aiksaurus and AbiGimp plugins and mention all the other easy to write
plugins we already have...
Show the start up time of AbiWord and Open Office :-)
Our next release will give us 99% of the features people use in a word
processors and a product that is much nicer to use than Open Office.
Open Office doesn't even have a Theasurus.
Give them the message that we're building the Best Word Processor on the
Planet :-)
Cheers!
Martin
