 1)  AbiWord gets GNOME Support

--------------------------------------------------------------


There's now a "GNOMEized" version of AbiWord; read all about it:

Thanks to Joaquin Cuenca Abela for doing this work, it looks really
nice.

==============================================================

 2)  GMap

--------------------------------------------------------------


A new map-browsing application, which looks pretty neat. It can browse
the map data Bruce Perens made available under the GPL some time ago.
Have a look at the screenshots:

 3)  Conglomerate

--------------------------------------------------------------


Simplemente, a company in Mexico City, announced a new GUI for editing
XML/SGML structured documents. The screenshots look really sweet:

 4)  Galway needs hackers

--------------------------------------------------------------


Ariel Rios wrote in with a request for assistance with the Galway web
editor. It's a pretty nice-looking application for creating web sites,
written in Scheme. Here's his mail:

 What i need is:

  -Schemers willing to help with coding.
  -People to write the HTML, Scheme, VRML and JScript parsers
  -People to write documentation
  -And most of all translators

 I want to start integrating gtkhtml into it but need other people to deal with
 parts of the development.

 Galway is located under GNOME CVS module galway. 
 Its current homepage is:
   http://erin.netpedia.net/galway.html

 Anyone interested can contact me at: jarios@usa.net

==============================================================

 5)  Free books from Helix Code

--------------------------------------------------------------


Helix Code (Miguel and Nat's company) is offering to purchase copies
of GTK+/GNOME Application Development for any hackers that need one.

Helix Code:
  http://www.helixcode.com/

The book:
  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/GGAD/

If you'd like a copy of the book, mail Nat (nat@helixcode.com) or
track down Nat or Miguel on IRC or in person.

==============================================================

 6)  Guppi returns from the dead

--------------------------------------------------------------


Jon Trowbridge has started hacking Guppi again; see this post:

For its third rewrite, Guppi is now in the 'guppi3' CVS module.
It's great to see it moving along again!
