What would help , on X11 especially, real working apps in the hand of the masses. Im always thinking, UWord would make a nice show-case, if it was enhanced a little more to be usable as a basic word processor. If it could compete with AbiWord somewhat, its footprint and speed might make some people take notice. Now, upp is rather invisible, and that's not helping.

I agree with everything Wink

The only problem is that somebody must take on these quests. It is beyond U++'s core developers capacity I guess.

The main problem with UWord is export/import (.doc, .odt). That is a huge amount of work.

I think UWord is very good and useful as it is now. What a normal user could consider really prioritary I guess are:

1) import/export rtf;
2) set the dimension and the margin of the page to be printed.
