Ars Technica brings the good news that the AbiWord project has received funding from the NLnet Foundation to further a number of the project's efforts on the OpenDocument front.
One of the areas receiving special support is the newly formed AbiSource Corporation, which cites improving AbiWord's collaborative tools as one of its driving forces. NLnet will also work with the AbiWord team to improve the application's support for the OpenDocument standard in other areas, including its import/export filters.
