Martin and Marc will know better about the syntax highlighting stuff,
but if you can help with the very important activity that Write is,
please consider properly packaging pyabiword for fedora (and other
distros):

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList#OLPC_Wishlist

We are using a _really_ old prerelease tarball of abiword:
2.6.0.svn20071127 . The Abi guys have already released 2.6.4 :/

The abi devs have also asked for help in testing Write with non-latin
scripts, this is something of high importance for OLPC.

If we cannot bring all the abiword potential to Sugar's Write, we risk
someone will start asking for running unsugarized OpenOffice or
Abiword on the XO, just as happened with Browse :/

Thanks,

Tomeu
