track changes

IMHO, a 'track-changes' feature is a must for a serious word proccesor. OOo has it, Word has it and i think even AbiWord has it.
Then, of course, one need to compare two document in a clear visual way...

Definitely. Also cross-referencing and indexing features (at least, these were still missing last time I looked which has been a while). From what I see in the screenshots, there is still too much focus on "fancy layout stuff" (which IMO they could leave to Scribus and vector graphic programs) and not enough on basic text processing and every day tasks. To concentrate on the usual "dull, square documents" seems still the biggest problem for the developers. ;-)

The big work going in is about laying foundations and adding things like proper borders around paragraphs or doing proper lists and counters.
All pretty boring work, so you won't see an article dedicated to it (but be sure to check out my blog where I list some less boring parts more often then its on the dot).
All in all; the 'boring text editing' is certainly a high priority.

...and as someone who actualy even likes those boring stuff I like to add, that there was and still is a lot of great progress on it even if not direct visible like the "fancy layout stuff" :)
