I'm very pleased to announce that for the second time in a row, AbiWord has 
been voted Show Favorite by attendees at the Linux World Conference and 
Expo:

Last August we won in the "Productivity Application/Suite" category, and 
this time we won the "Office Suite" category.  Considering the feature sets 
of our proprietary competitors, this is quite an accomplishment.  It really 
says a lot about how popular we already are with our users.  
This award is the result of a lot of hard work by members of the AbiWord 
community who've quietly kept focused on our end goal: 
  building a product that Just Works
I know we spend a lot of time on this list focusing on the work we still 
need to do to get to a 1.0 release that we can all be proud of.  
However, now is a perfect time to take a little break and pat ourselves on 
the back for this accomplishment.  I know it really motivates me to keep 
cranking on the product and figuring out ways to make it even better.  
Congratulations!  
Paul
