Welcome to issue 58 of the AbiWord Weekly News.

AbiWord Weekly News is back after a (somewhat longer than
anticipated) break. I’ll work my way through the archives from
weeks past so we don’t miss any goodies.

Starting with this issue, I’ve decided to remove the Patch Of
The Week “award” – not because it’s not a good idea, but because
it’s hard to select who should get it. So there.

Note that Top 10 Bugs and Milestone Bugs are from 2001.09.25,
not week 34.

Seeing as we’re now in the 0.9.x cycle, I’d like to (yet again)
ask people (users, developers, lurkers – the whole shebang) to go
to the bug list in BugZilla and cast your votes for bugs you’d like
to see fixed. The present list of priorities has not really changed
for a long time (other than the bugs on it that have been nailed
recently). This is your chance to voice your (personal) direction
of the bug fixing effort! See below for details…

In this issue:

  • CVS Stats
  • Project of the Week
  • Bug Update
  • On the Mailing List

Welcome to issue 59 of the AbiWord Weekly News.

Much stuff happened this week: new style features, improved WP
import, TinderBox back to life, file->close discussion brought
to an end by a patch, and request for help to make releases. Read
all about it…

Note that Top 10 Bugs and Milestone Bugs are from 2001.09.25,
not week 35.
