Specifically, I would like to see better handling of table selections in
2.0 (I think there's a bugzilla entry for this). Not my area of
expertise.

I think I (or Marc) can make the the WordPerfect importer handle these.
We've been making great progress on libwpd2 over the last little while
(we can handle proper tables now!). Expect a new AbiWord plugin within a
month or two (Marc is the main person working on this; I'm mostly
working on OO.org and libwpd2 proper) -- we just have to fix a few
regressions (lists, font size change, ..).

I want to do some more work on the frame code before 2.0 hits. I'm not
completely satisfied with the new interface I created with the frame
refactoring and there are still lingering focus/keyboard issues and I'd
like to make the frame building stuff (i.e.: menus, toolbars, view,
statusbar) not-hardcoded (to make the bonobo integration cleaner, and to
pave the way for stuff like a grammar checker interface and a
reveal-codes view). I won't be able to work on this before Jan. 22nd
though, so with everybody's permission, I'd like to add this to the list
of "proposed polish".
