During the SoC project the OLPC UI approach fundamentally changed
twice -- from tabbed to fullscreen and then to bottom toolbar. That
and more generally the fast pace of the project make pretty time
consuming to keep up and (repeatedly) pull (changed) information from
the project. Maybe it wouldn't harm letting it mature a bit and then
ready AbiWord "in one sitting".

I have not seen or used a physical demo board but AbiWord is using all
the space the emulator gives it.
