Then could you mark what features you all have, and a goal for when you will
have features implemented in AbiWord.
State the goal for when an AbiWord feature will be released as a version
number, not a date. If the feature already exists in AbiWord list the last
release it was updated in.
So for example (Excuse my ASCII)
Program AbiWord MS Word
Wordperfect
Current Version 0.7.1 97
8
Spell Check 0.3.4 YES
YES
Read Word 97 0.5.2 YES
YES
Read Wordperfect 5.1 0.7.9 YES
YES
Obviously I made up that last one's release but you get the idea.
Why on earth would you subejct yourself to such scrutiny ? Well a lot of
users won't even look at another Word Processor because they don't think the
other program can do what they need. For the business users I've encountered
it is even worse...they keep talking about what they MIGHT need.

There is another that states that this has already happened."
