The next Gnome Office release.

[msevior physics unimelb edu au]

Hi Folks,
         GNOME-2.6 is about to be released. After our initial
Gnome-Office-1.0 release we decided it would be a good idea to
have the next Gnome-Office release follow the GNOME-2.6 release
relatively soon.

Just to let everyone know, I think AbiWord-2.2 is at least 2 months away
from being ready.

What is the status of Gnumeric, GNOME-DB and other potential components?
Is there an ETA for the those projects?

Also I beleive the next Gnumeric release will feature a Win32 port. Does
it make sense to package up a Gnome-Office for Windows (at least
AbiWord-2.2 plus Gnumeric-x) binary? If people are happy here are happy
with this idea I'll cajole the AbiWord windows packager(s) to work on
this.

What number should call this release? My personal vote is to call it
Gnome-Office-1.2.

BTW this would be an excellent way for people with some windows knowlege
to help out. Doing the packaging is Real Work and would help us enormously
but does not require deep understanding of either AbiWord or Gnumeric. We
could really use help with this.

Cheers

Martin
