AbiWord is an Open Source word processor that uses GTK as its GUI.
The current focujs is on a browser-based Abiword [1].
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:

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