   This version of AbiWord (which we were calling
maemo-word-processor, at that time, as our code was not yet commited
to the AbiWord CVS repo) is quite old.

   Since then, Maemo support is now official in AbiWord, and the
community has already released version 2.4 of this fine software.

   I (personally) haven't talked with the AbiWord developers recently,
but I know that many of them got Nokia 770 devices via the developer
program (some of them already have the devices in their hands)

   So, I believe it is (reasonably) safe just to give it a few days,
before we have community built AbiWord packages.

   Best regards,

   Rodrigo
