Martin,
The contribution of AbiWord to OLPC users is about to grow even more
substantial. The upcoming deployment-oriented 11.2.0 release from
OLPC will be dual-boot in Sugar and GNOME UIs and the full AbiWord
application will be included by default on the GNOME boot. This makes
localization of AbiWord quite important to OLPC and hopefully our
collaboration on Pootle hosting of your PO files will facilitate that
goal.
Warmest Regards,
