Bonobo work is progressing so rapidly, that I swear I just saw it inside of Nautilus the other day...actually, I did. SuSE in, SuSE out, SuSE's back on again if you're looking for packages for that dangerous distribution, thanks to James Ogley. More HIGrrrification^(TM) under development with three screenshots hidden in their own section of the developers' list. GNOME-enable'ers, fear not, it's not you, it's that french guy...Hub declares a great owing of donuts.

Is this intended as a way of viewing or editing AbiWord docs in Nautilus? IMHO, if it is just viewing, spellchecking and other stuff should be off. Allowing editing would not be a good idea.

Nautilus has been taken from file manager, to media viewer and now, if you allow editing, to an editor of certain types. I'm not real impressed with the "media viewer" stuff that has been done thus far, but to add editing of only certain types of files would be VERY confusing and frustrating to non-geek-type users. Neat feature, just make sure the scope is defined and consider the ramifications.
