I talked to a guy (Jérôme Guelfucci) in #ubuntu-desktop today about abiword. He's been working on the package in general lately. He emailed the Debian abiword maintainer and kindly added the following: "The Sugar folks would also be interested to have libabiword built, as reported in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=512777 , do you plan to work on this ? This would alos allow to have pyabiword built, which is also crucial for Sugar. I cced LaserJock, who is interested in this and ready to cooperate to make things move faster." I can give some guidance as far as getting a libabiword binary package setup and sponsor an upload if needed, but I'm afraid beyond that I just won't have time. -Jordan -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
