FYI the uwog post appeared in the blog at planet.gnome.org on 22/4/08 
and at the time there was a surprised and disappointed reaction amongst 
Gnome developers. I saw it turn up on a few blogs.

Interview with Abiword developers about ODF in the latest Redhat 
Magazine: http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/05/08/abiword-team-interview/

It does seem that they consider involvement in OASIS ODF to be difficult.
