Hello,

in case you should need some more inspiration... *duck* ;-)

>> Well my own priorities are:

>>2. Implement AbiCollab - real-time document collaboration and
>>preparation.

If this is supposed to allow working with Abiword documents the same
way as Subethaedit allows working with text files, it would be
insanely great.

>>3. Full integration with libgsf so that AbiWord can load and store
>>documents transparently over a network.

How about integration with CMS and/or DMS systems and/or XML
databases?

>>5. Finish the remaining table features (sort tables rows/columns, repeat
>>rows on different pages).

Copy the table functionality of RagTime, FrameMaker, Ventura etc.:

- table styles
- use of paragraph styles for text within table cells
- etc...

>>11. Cross references.

With styles.

A full scripting interface for the entire functionality available
through the GUI.

Database publishing (à la Ventura)!

Sincerely,

Wolfgang Keller
