AbiWord Weekly News #119

Submitted by stro on Wed, 2002-12-11 12:52. AbiWord

Behold, my time traveling vrienden, it's the second to last week of November! To jog your memory, or tell you for the first time, the next Developers' Release is out! No, not 1.1.3, 1.1.2! Time traveling, remember.... Also, Marc's next secret project is out; Matthew's POW is doing great, but the more-the merrier, and Dom's begun the Mail Merge function.

I'm assuming that it was a joke, considering that they kept repeating the statement:

the CVS head is centered toward the GTK2 libraries. This is not a shock for me, as Dom declared the GNOME platform dead half a year ago, and explained in nice clear Engrish (you think a guy from Philly talks real English?) that he has no intentions of ever developing for that dead GNOME platform, which is d

ead, especially since Dom says it's dead. Let me know if I dally on any points about Dom declaring GNOME dead...Dom's dead gnome died when it found out it was dead."

I'm sure it's an inside joke of some sort, the Abiword word developers seem like a close knit bunch. I hope it wa a joke though, if Dom say's it dead ... we are in trouble! As for Bonobo support, it's something that is going to be completed once they have fully migrated to GTK2. As for Gconf support, I don't know.
