Five years ago today, Miguel committed the first code to Gnumeric [1].
In a testament to the quality of the code several lines are still in
use [2]. Since that time the project has grown to more than 300,000
lines and now supports all 325 worksheet functions in MS Excel, plus
almost 100 more
[3].
This seemed like a good time to thank all the people who have
contributed to Gnumeric over the years. We're about to start the
run up to the the next stable release which will be out in a few
weeks. We look forward to continuing work with the GNOME community
to produce the most powerful spreadsheet in the world.

The abi-community seems to be doing very nicely without my sticky little fingers. Give Dom, Martin and the gang the credit they deserve and check out the recent beta release. It will rock your socks.

Its far more likely that they'll be helping Gnumeric by donating some of their win32, and packaging experience.
