Summer of Code 2007 - AbiWord
And unlike everyone else, I didn’t fork this from the Gnome one 
. I did include an 8-pointed-star as a visual allusion to it, though… 
If you’re on a Planet, syndicate this far and wide… (in this case, wider than my blog layout apparently…)
Summer of Code Update: AbiWord on OLPC
Our Summer of Code student Erik Pukinskis has been hard at work doing research, UI mockups, and even some code, despite some communication problems and other issues within the OLPC design groups! Check out a screen shot of AbiWord running inside the Sugar OLPC interface here on Flickr!
Patches to add this support have hit the development mailing list, and further development is going on as I write this in the AbiWord IRC channel! Way to go, Erik! [Edit: your name was staring me in the face in that Flickr link and I still couldn’t spell it right - sorry Erik!]

“That’s a lot of abiword :-)” — Martin

From the article: “Nigeria has officially ordered and paid for one million of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) devices, according to the Nigerian Vanguard newspaper. ”
Yes, this is the same device that Erik is working on our interface for. AbiWord is proud to be the word processor of the OLPC project!
The quote in the title is from core developer Martin Sevior upon sharing the link with the AbiWord IRC channel (which you should stop by if you don’t already, it’s a good time!)
