Well a solution is to just announce GNOME-office-1.0 with the gnome
abiword-2.0. We only supply binaries from the download page for gnome/gtk.
When Win32 is ready we announce "AbiWord-2.0.1 a cross-platform Word
Processor." and provide binaries for Windows users.
Win32 developers should find and mark those bugs they consider blockers
for a general release for end-users. When the blocker bugs are fixed
AbiWord-2.0.1 is announced.
Cheers
