Hi y'all, I was the old maintainer for the N8x0 package of AbiWord, and it's been a while since I've been involved in Maemo development. I'm working for AbiWord through GSoC this summer and we've got some really exciting performance improvements in the works. I haven't forgotten about Maemo, though, and I'm hoping that some of the upstream stuff we're doing will make things much more usable on embedded devices. For one thing, RAM usage in SVN trunk has been roughly halved compared to 2.8.6. I've focused on overhauling the rendering engine, which should make typing in very large documents possible now, and the next step will be to tackle insanely long load times.

As for the N900-specific bugs, I don't own one and as a poor PhD student I can't buy one =). If anyone would be willing to send me an N900 or help subsidize the cost of buying one, however, I would be happy to hack on it. I had fixed a number of Maemo-specific bugs earlier this year, feel free to check the Diablo package's changelogs.

Stay tuned!
