Re: A wysiwyg hebrew word processor



Why??

Either join your work to Koffice (or Goffice which is LONG from coming)
- but doing this whole work, for a single purpose - I really don't think
it will be usable, because:

1. You'll need to write everything from SCRATCH.
2. I see you're using SVGAlib (which you also wrote) - whats the point?
more then half of the cards available today are not supported

As I wrote - I seriously suggest for you to join other projects and help
- your help will be VERY important to Linux IL community.

Thanks
And sorry for the critisism.
