why ibm sun novell aren't founding this project???

I wonder how many $$$ where spent by them in gnome project
and why they doesn't pay a full time developer for every program of the
suite..

see ya

Open Office was there first.

Sure it has lots of issues like being 10 times larger and at least 10 times harder to develop for.

But it was there.

I also think no one believed we could produce a full featured Word Processor in 1/10th the number of LOC's as OOo.

Now those companies have customers they need to support so they keep on OOo.

Never mind, we're doing fine :-)

Sun aren't likely to fund it when they produce Star-Office (Open Office).

As to the others, don't really know why not.

AbiWord is my true love.

Impresive that such a small program can compete with Open Office!

Does anyone know how the grammar plugin is going?

A job well done AbiWord folks!

Shouldn't that read infrastructure for a grammar checker will be in the 2.4 release? AFAIK there are very few free grammar checkers out there, especially when you stray from the common english.

By common do you mean proper Brittish? Or how about laxidazical American? Or the odd Canadian? Perhaps the humerous Australian? Wow, this will be hard, though I don't think the rules are really different at all.

I just knew that question would arise :)

By common I ment to express exactly what you expressed - a whole lot of languages that are quite similar - yet different; much like the common cold ;-)

And yes, as someone duly pointed out - I ment non english based languages such as dutch, german, swedish or hindu.
