It is for Sugar version. I haven't seen that functionality in general version of Abiword in any general desktop environment other than a browser. In Sugar interface, it was straightfoward, get into network and choose your file you want share to either public or in group. You can try it out with Sugar on stick available on Sugarlabs.org.

Hmm, I'm sure I played with it years ago. It's definitely there in Abiword 3.0.1 - "Collaborate" menu. And LWN mentioned it in its article on the 2.8.0 release in '09: http://lwn.net/Articles/360269/

I just installed Abiword for try it out. From the collaborate menu, I noticed there is Sugar Presence Service as well, a sign of involvement to the Abiword development. Thanks paulj, I will take a look again at the Sugar Interface and Gnome Classic session included in the XO laptop (all versions). It is a shame that function weren't ported to LibreOffice Writer.
