Thanks for working on this, although I got the impression that the Abisource team are planning on packaging this up themselves at some point. Maybe you could chat with them about this, offering your services for example.
I've been in touch with some of them via IRC, but not with Hubert, who seems to be spearheading the Maemo effort, so I'm not sure about their exact plans. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck contacting him yet. It's worth repeating that this is in no way an official release, but I've grown a bit impatient because I really want to start using my tablet as my full-time machine and the lack of a decent word processor is the only obstacle remaining (for me).

I'm also not a *real* programmer, so right now I can't contribute that much. That said, after a whole day spent hacking, I found the source of the bug that crashes AbiWord when you open up the Format Table dialog box and I submitted a patch to the devs. That's my very first code contribution to open source (albeit it was just a faulty XML file)! Hopefully it will get merged upstream soon, especially because I think it may be linked to a number of AbiWord bugs on the tablets. I will upload new binaries later today.

Nice to see a gopher link - haven't seen one in 10 years!
