The AbiWord autopackage is meant to be a single package containing the
most useful and polished plugins such as OpenDocument filters, grammar
checking and support for goffice charts. There is no separate plugins
package as many of the plugins are not matching the quality of the
main codebase. (The above statement most likely refers to the source
code)
If you are interested in any particular plugins please let us know.
Significant work has been accomplished over the summer so the number
of plugins "ready for prime time" might increase in the future.

Best,
Rob
