Certainly nothing stopping anyone from trying it, but IMHO it might be a better idea to join the AbiWord effort.
Yes I know, all I was saying is that the UI, when run on the N800, is still usable (because the previous post said that it would *never* work). Obviously, with Hildonization, it would be even better. I would still like to see Abiword running on the N800. I use Gnumeric and it runs well. For now though, I use Google Docs and ThinkFree seems to work well too, especially for viewing.
