I hestitate to even stick my head out too far, b/c this doesn't seem to be a
terribly civiklised discussion, but there is a smallish group working (slowly)
on a WP for linux - (and any other platoform you care to port it to I suppose) -
we have aimed (in my opinion) fairly high - in that we want to write a WP
based on the Standard Generic Markup Language - what yu would call a structured
word processor. There are a lot of issues, and we are tackling them slowly -
there will be much noise if/when this thing gets working, but this year isn't
a likely release date. If you wiosh to stir things up (the mail list has been
a bit slow lately) - you can join the linux-activists channel word to hear any
mail. Otherwise, I suggest you start reading the Tex Book - flames will be
unread or dumped in the nearest dev null,
