AbiWord: The Underappreciated Word Processor
,----[ Quote ]
| Network effects being what they are,
| OpenOffice.org tends to suck all the
| oxygen out of the room when talking about
| open source productivity applications. But
| OpenOffice.org isn't the only game in town
| for open source word processing. One of
| the best, if underexposed, open word
| processors is AbiWord.

O JavaFX, What Art Thou?
,----[ Quote ]
| Partly. As described in the section above
| on licensing, there is a portion of JavaFX
| that is open source, but significant
| portions are not. The openjfx site now
| forwards one to the JavaFX.com site.
|
| Again, I'm not the first to wonder about
| the degree of "open sourcedness" of
| JavaFX. Others have posted questions on
| this topic in posts such as JavaFX: Open
| source or not? and the JavaFX forum thread
| Is JavaFX open-source? I particularly like
| the latter (the forum thread) because it
| nicely covers the intricacies of making a
| product like JavaFX open source.

Can OpenOffice.org regain momentum?
,----[ Quote ]
| The latest evidence, from my friend
| Roberto Galoppini in Rome, is word that
| the Free Software Foundation has felt
| moved to create its own list of
| OpenOffice.org extensions, on its
| LibrePlanet wiki.
|
| The release from Peter Brown is polite.
| âThe FSF asked the OpenOffice.org
| Community Council to list only free
| software extensions, or to provide a
| second independent listing which only
| included free extensions, but they
| declined to change their policy.â
