-
TWiki is a wiki, but slightly different than some other wikis.  One difference is that the content can be divided into separate "webs" to better organize it.  _Think "folders" or "directories", but don''t use those words in front of a TWiki geek._ ;-)

-
On the [[AbiWord|AbiWord]] TWiki, [[AbiWord|AbiWord]] related content is in the Abiword web &mdash; *this* page is the (Web)Home page of the Abiword web.

Other webs on this site include the following, but you can pretty much ignore them:
 
-
 
-
* [Main.[[WebHome|WebHome]] Main]: if you register (which you must do in order to edit or add pages on this TWiki), your registration will create a "home" page in the Main web (mine is Main.[[RandyKramer|RandyKramer]]).  You can set some preferences on that page which may be helpful as you edit or view wiki pages, like set the size of the text box for editing.  _(More) options re viewing pages exist in more recent versions of TWiki, although I do not recommend that abisource upgrade at the moment, especially without careful consideration&mdash;among other things I understand (some?) newer versions are slower._
 
-
* [TWiki.[[WebHome|WebHome]] TWiki] is where the TWiki documentation resides
 
-
* [Test.[[WebHome|WebHome]] Test] is a sandbox, a place you can play if you want to try out your ability to edit TWiki pages.

Welcome to the AbiWord Wiki

Starting Points

A wiki is usually not organized as a coherent web site, instead it grows dynamically (and often haphazardly) as people recognize the need to add to it. So, how do you find things? There are a few recognized starting points—for the AbiWord wiki, the following places may be a good place to start:

  • AbiWordFAQ, which contains a lot of Frequently Asked Questions.
  • AbiWordDevelopment, for information on AbiWords development.
  • UserInterface, UI related notes
  • GoogleSummerOfCode2006, Projects from 2006 Abiword
  • GoogleSummerOfCode2007, for USD$4500.00 grant from Google to work on Abiword
    • [[[AbiAnnotations|AbiAnnotations]] Annotations] This page is the starting point for Ernesto Riveras Google Summer of Code project.
    • LibAbiwordDiet Rob is going to improve the libabiword build system and API.
    • OpenXMLImport Philippe Milot will create an import filter for the Open XML ".docx" file format (ECMA standard).
  • AbiWordSDK - As of AbiWord 2.5.0, AbiWord can be compiled to create a stand alone library. Within this library is AbiWidget which can be embedded in other applications and TableCreator which is a useful GtkWidget used to interactively create tables.
  • AbiWidget - A rich text canvas with all the power of the AbiWord layout and editting engines in addition to the import/export filters.
  • PyAbiWord - Python wrapper around the AbiWidget and TableCreator which can be easily used in any PyGtk application. It forms the basis of AbiWord OLPC writing activity.
  • AbiCollab - A new feature that allows immediate communication between different documents. This allows users to collaborate on document creation by enabling different users to immediately see changes in a shared document in real time.
  • KeyBindings - The most recent versions of AbiWord and libAbiWord allow programmers to change the keybindings via a an ascii description.

The complete list of available items can be found in the WebIndex.
