The only points that are still lacking are keybindings, selecting new positions next a know item, and delete items. I don't plan to implement right now the last one, but I will implement the first & the second one asap.
In the perl scripts front there are still some work to be done: * I should make work the XS wrappers in windows * Finish make install (this one it's easy) * Rationalize a bit more the exposed API. * Make it a plugin. But basically now it's good enough (in unix). When points 2 & 4 will be finished, I would like to start distributing binaries and start getting feedback from outside perl hackers. I would also write some little & useful scripts, to make the download & install of perl wrappers worth it (I'm taking suggestions here), for instance a script that takes a C file and writtes in the current abiword document with a correct indentation & colouring key words (I need something like that for my "exposes"). >5.

I will send a patch asap. (Can I commit directly, or should I first send a patch to Jared for peer review?) Cheers, -- Joaquin Cuenca Abela [EMAIL PROTECTED]
