Correct? In Extras will they continue to be maintained as before or will
they need someone to step up and maintain them? The reason I ask is it
would be a pity to see abiword and gnumeric disappear as I find them
considerably faster than OOo and in the case of Abiword it supports a
number of word files that don't work to well with OOo.I also use grip.
While I'm happy for them to be in extras rather than core I would still
like them to be around.
The plan is to add these packages to Extras as demand requires.
Volunteers
are always wanted to help maintain packages. Are you interested? Please

How sad. We constantly push the envolope, fix bugs, provide upgrades and
provide rpm's for stable and development version of our program for
FC3, FC2, FC1 and redhat 9 on our website.
Maybe we should just stick with source and Debian.
I've been seriously thinking of moving to Ubuntu anyway.
Well I guess that's just about it for FC as a community distro.

Hint type "word Processor" into google and see what you get. It isn't
