Re: wiki page

Hi Dale,
Yes, we are live. May be we could have been more active, I agree. But,
you could just let the developers know the concerns over the irc
(#abiword at irc.gnome.org), or mailing lists if you found any issue.
I guess the wiki is managed and not taken over by the spammers. We do
revert the spam pages sooner to our best.

Thank you for your feedback. Pls let us know the spammed pages, if
they still exist.

Regards,
Pradeeban.
