Maybe we shouldn't spam the world with the 1.0 release announcement?

    There's some truth to be found in Joel's text here:

    http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/PickingShipDate.html

    80% of those reading the announcement with download AbiWord, find that
    it doesn't have tables, and will never ever touch it again.

    I'm sure enough people, who are not judging a product by features they
    don't use anyway, will find and start using AbiWord 1.0, even without
    announcing it all over the place.

    Just something to consider.

    Cheers,
    Jesper
