Actually, yeah, I'd like to see DocsToGo on the Maemo platform. Having a full Office suite would be nice, and DocsToGo's compatibility with MS Office is excellent (at one point it was actually more compatible with Office than the Pocket Office apps that came with Windows Mobile!). And, truth be told, there IS a version that runs on Linux: the DocsToGo that was to ship with the ill-fated Palm Foleo. It's unclear how close Palm's Foleo Linux was to Maemo, so I'm not sure what kind of porting effort it would require. It may involve using libraries that are Palm-proprietary. ACCESS Linux Platform uses GTK as a graphic library, so porting from that shouldn't be terribly hard. Unfortunately, it's unclear how close Palm's Foleo Linux is to ALP (most likely, not very close at all).
