I'll be able to get the packaging (see: plugins for file format support and real-time collaboration) stuff in the near future, since I'm the AbiWord for Ubuntu maintainer (note that Ubuntu doesn't actually tend to use an updated version of my packages, visit
www.abisource.com
if you want a version made recently :-/) and working with the Debian maintainer to keep those packages up to date, I will probably be porting the Maemo packaging to the same basic package that we're using on these more full-featured platforms. So, that's a git branch and some tweaking and failed uploads away from being done.
The other bits - that's harder, probably not. Google and AbiWord dictate that my main priority be the Summer of Code work I'm getting paid for, and I value that commitment. Furthermore, I'm not experienced with actual hildon development, and these are mostly bugs in how we interact with hildon (obviously, since any major bug with gtk in general is already fixed by those working primarily on the desktop version). I'll try my hand at them someday when I have the time to do so, but someone experienced with hildon can probably get it done quicker than me. I am happy to mentor someone with this hildon experience as they get up to speed on the abiword bits needed to get the work done: AbiWord is a well-abstracted, well-designed application and a "front-end" bug like this should be relatively easy to fix.
