Like most Open Source projects, AbiWord started as a cathedral, but has become more like a cheap market. AbiWord is part of a larger project known as AbiSource, which started by SourceGear Corporation. The aim of this project is the development of cross-platform, open source office suite begins with AbiWord, word processing project.
SourceGear released the source code to AbiWord and developer community quickly formed around the project. SourceGear has since stopped working on the project.

Developer community has since continued to make improvements and enhance the quality of AbiWord. Version 1.0 was released in April 2002, followed by Version 2.0 in September 2003, 2.2 in December 2004 and 2.4 in September 2005.
What Makes AbiWord Different?
AbiWord is unique among word processors in its efforts to become a full cross-platform word processor. Our source code carefully written so that AbiWord will run on almost any operating system with minimal time spent in port. This combined with our support for internationalization (the ability to run AbiWord in many languages) gives AbiWord a large potential user base.
Currently we run on most UNIX systems, Windows 95 and later, QNX Neutrino 6.2. We also have a MacOS X native port available. There used BeOS port, but that version has been too long neglected and support for it has been discontinued.
