    Recently I discovered a site on the web with a very
    out-of-date comparison of AbiWord and several other
    projects. I wrote to the page's maintainer telling him
    of recent developments and received this response.
    I'm pretty sure somebody else on this list can do a
    better job updatind the AbiWord section of this guy's
    page than I can:
