We need to triage the current lp abiword bugs, as a lot was fixed in 3.0.1.
Maybe watching the svn could help too, as the upstream devs are fairly
active
We are one bugfix release behind on gnumeric, so if anyone's reasoning is a
bug, can they please check
http://www.gnumeric.org/announcements/1.12/gnumeric-1.12.19.html first.

I personally use google drive, with abiword for basic offline use only.
