AbiWord on OLPC Background

The OLPC project

"One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a new, non-profit association dedicated to research to develop a $100 laptop—a technology that could revolutionize how we educate the world's children ... Our goal: to provide children around the world with new opportunities to explore, experiment, and express themselves." - OLPC web site

Past Work

Robert Staudinger started discussion about the unique design constraints of the OLPC's display in this post on the mailing list. He posted some mockups. Martin Sevior has blogged here and here about work to make !AbiWord more suitable for the OLPC.
