But I meant for Windows.

Rui, if you can get fedora, Suse and Mandrake to package us this way I
would be *really* grateful. Right now, Fedora has AbiWord-2.0.5 which
lacks about 100 bug fixes compared to our 1 month old Abiword-2.0.7

I fear we will have to use our resources to distrubte Gnome-Office until
we can train all the upstream distros to properly maintain us.

For example Mandrake doesn't even include us in their mainline distro. If
you can convince them to distribute us I would be very grateful.

So although I meant "For Windows" it would actually be very nice to have a
nice graphical installer for Linux which would automatically do the right
thing for every distro (or at least all the most common  ones.)

Cheers

Martin
