I would like to embed some chemistry in abiword (I already sent a
message about that some times ago).
I do not think that I need a specific plugin in abiword since chemistry
will not be needed by so many people. IMHO, abiword should be able to
embed data from external programs (this might be implemented as a
plugin). What should be decided before starting coding is what mechanism
should be used. I remember some discussions on the gnome-office list
about that last year.
I volunteer to help coding this.
