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 intelligent)
- Finish implementing table menu button
- Integrate AbiCollab with Sugar shell
- Use clipart bar to add drawings drawing app
