AbiWord is an Open Source word processor that uses GTK as its GUI. The AbiWord project has financed an AbiWord Summer of Code project to produce a version with a user interface tailored to the OLPC hardware and the typical OLPC user. The following is the outcome of that project:

What's been done...

  • AbiWord runs in the sugar shell
  • It has a minimal interface with a custom toolbar
  • I implemented a new clipart toolbar that lets kids drag and drop pictures into their documents

What's left to do...

  • Polish (make clipart bar look nicer, have it look for clipart somewhere intelligently)
  • Finish implementing table menu button
  • Integrate AbiCollab with Sugar shell
  • Use clipart bar to add drawings drawing app
