Re: Word Processors

[Reklaw <nawalker earthlink net>]

Offhandly, why not becuase,they use GTK+ only (no GNOME). GNOME
provides a lot of nice things that I don't feel like re-inventing.
becuase it's also a windows product (I don't like #ifdef __WIN32
 either or people whining about getting the other platform up-to-code).
 Becuase it's september and they "expect" a 1.0 product
by the end of the year and there sources are still dated august 26.

Because the following makes me feel used :)...
Under Linux, why are you using GTK+ instead of Qt?
                Politics. Most of the truly nerdy open source people prefer GTK+, since Qt is not quite free enough for the deepest dogma.
                We want the enthusiasm of those super-geeks right from the beginning, so we are making the choice that will make them
                happy. Truth be told, we would like to support both. If you would like to help with a Qt port, please let us know. 


Other than that if they can get every thing on thier
roadmap (http://www.abisource.com/roadmap.phtml) done by the
end of the year, I think I would be very happy.
