“This week was extremely busy, with 37 different new patches
in the tree, from 16 developers. This week, we also added 4 new
contributors. Congratulations to Ash, Ithamar, Ed and
Joseph.”
“Without question, this week’s biggest patch came from Martin,
who finally committed list support, originally begun by Luke
Jordan. Later in the week, he committed several updates to this
patch, which is still under heavy development. However, this is one
of the most vital (formerly) missing features in AbiWord, and its
addition brings us significantly closer to 1.0. Since getting to
1.0 is AbiWord’s primary focus, Martin becomes the first person to
win a second patch prize. We offer our congratulations and another
$299.”
“The other big checkin this week was from Bill Carpenter, who,
in a series of patches, provided everything from proper handling of
smart quotes to unbreakable cryptogrpahy. Amazingly, these
capabilites were provided by the same patch.”
