Tecno & Soft 🔻🐧<p>Creo que el proyecto AbiWord merece promoción.<br>Si lo que necesitas es solo un editor de texto no tiene sentido instalar toda una suite de ofimática. Es ahí donde AbiWord entra en juego, es lo que uso y os lo recomiendo.<br><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Manjaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Manjaro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/AbiWord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbiWord</span></a></p>

I can use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gnumeric" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gnumeric</span></a> for spreadsheets and it&#39;s fine, but for word documents I&#39;d rather use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/atlantiswordprocessor" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>atlantiswordprocessor</span></a> via <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/wine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wine</span></a> than any existing linux-native software as they simply suck (yes, I&#39;m looking at you <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/abiword" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>abiword</span></a> !) :(</p>

Monoka<p>Hi <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.sdf.org/@jdkiser" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>jdkiser</span></a></span> I have seen that there are no bigger releases of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Abiword" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abiword</span></a> since 2013 (3.0) and no minor release since 2021 (3.0.5). Do you know what happened to its development? Is Abiword still usable?</p>
nickelson<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@itsfoss" class="u-url mention">@<span>itsfoss</span></a></span> Eeh, there are so many note-taking apps these days...<br />I&#39;d wish someone create lightweight and functional Word app as well (like Atlantis Word Processor but for Linux), or just improve <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/abiword" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>abiword</span></a> 😧</p>

cs<p>Is <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/Abiword" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abiword</span></a> dead? Their site has been unresponsive for the last couple of weeks. I'm not really a user, but it has popped up in a couple of things I've read in the last few weeks, and when I have checked the page, it hasn't been working. <a href="http://abisource.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">abisource.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Léo<p>Regarding writing, my sole idea now is to rely on <a href="https://social.synergetic-design.com/tags/Abiword" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abiword</span></a> to simply write down stuff and lay it out in a very basic way, then give it to a professional to create a satisfying layout for ebook and print.</p><p>Regarding computers, I am considering writing down a white paper just for the sake of proposing how to do things differently. Sounds quite dumb and I suppose many people did the same but I keep thinking that we went too far with IT. I wish things could be simpler. Our lives would be improved.</p>
Paul Rohr<p>The important thing is to emphasize who you personally are, because working with other developers like this is fundamentally a social choice.</p><p>Back in the day, I was leading the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AbiWord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbiWord</span></a> project, working alongside a few of my friends. We had a huge pile of work ahead of us, so I deliberately set aside some meaty features as the "Project of the Week" for newcomers to pick up. <a href="https://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/99/September/0097.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abisource.com/mailinglists/abi</span><span class="invisible">word-dev/99/September/0097.html</span></a></p>
GeoLaw<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@peotr26" class="u-url mention">@<span>peotr26</span></a></span> the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenDocument" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenDocument</span></a> standard allows two approaches: the file can be a ZIP archive of XML and other packed content, or the file can be a flat XML file. Maybe <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AbiWord" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AbiWord</span></a> defaults to the latter? Try opening the larger file in a text editor - a flat XML file will be human readable. A ZIP version will open in a ZIP compatible archive tool. If both look zipped, then look at the properties (in Ark, File-&gt;Properties) for compression ratio - perhaps the two apps compress files differently.</p>
Morten Juhl-Johansen<p>I do wonder if <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/Abiword" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abiword</span></a> is at EOL.<br>I feel that it filled a niche back when it was big - a great lightweight tool. <br>It helped me write the CV and application that landed me my current line of work...<br>I remember that for the longest time, it was the easiest tool for inserting and editing tables in any text processor.</p>
