Yes, AbiSource has definite intentions to add table support into AbiWord.
If we were a company selling proprietary software, I would quote you a time
frame, and you would have to take it or leave it. Since instead AbiSource
is an Open Source development effort, I can tell you where it is on our
list of priorities. Ultimately, however, AbiWord users are in control.
Anyone with the time and initiative can come along and begin adding table
support right now.
Given that, our intention is to add tables post AbiWord 1.0. More
specifically, it's probably THE biggest feature for the first release of
AbiWord after 1.0. As for the exact date, it's still to early to predict
with any certainty.
