    I think most (if not all) of the key developers feel that having non-UNIX
    ports is essential for AbiWord, otherwise the whole "cross-platform"
    appeal is meaningless.

    That said, very few of us ever see it in action on other platforms, so I
    imagine it's very difficult to write about.

    Perhaps once a week, or whenever, the platform maintainers could send a
    paragraph or two to EAZen effectively publicizing the current state of the
    port and any exciting developments that have occured.

    Alternatively, you could try bribing EAZen with crystal meth.

    After we were introduced I noticed that both of them were carrying
    three-foot-long machetes. I hate hiking with convicts carrying machetes.
