Re:Future of AbiWord (Score 1)

Yes. We're not directly affiliated with the GNOME leadership, but I have definitely heard them (Miguel, specifically) give a strong sense of blessing to AbiWord as 'the GNOME wp'.

Currently, AbiWord just uses GTK+, and makes no use of GNOME-specific APIs. Havoc has mentioned in his GNOME Summary that the AbiWord needs someone to join in and help give AbiWord some truly GNOME-ified support, but no one has come forth with patches yet.
