 After a quick IRC discussion with uwog we have a plan for abiword/touch
 handles/F18.

  * abiword-2.9.4 will be released soon, unless anyone speaks up,
 http://abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/2012/Oct/0009.html
  * 2.9.4 will also be packaged in F18 unless anyone points out any big
 holes. (lets send uwog the .spec changes to save him some time)
  * Carlos's touch handles work is at
 http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13410 - next step is for him
 to post a new patch incorporating the review feedback, when he has time. I
 share the hope that upstreaming will be quick from that point.

 From the 13.1.0 meeting earlier, we'll have to ship a forked package in
 the mean time (starting this week), Gonzalo is in charge of that. But with
 the above plan in place, it shouldn't be long before abiword-2.9.x is in
 Fedora and Carlos's work is in the official sources, at which point the
 fork can be dropped.
