Getting started with KWord Development
,----[ Quote ]
| About 2 months ago, I started working on KWord ODF support. Getting
| productive working on KWord is no mean task - apart from the mandatory C++/Qt
| knowledge, one need to know Scribe, KDE, KOffice libs and KWord. I knew only
| C++/Qt and basic Scribe.

Abiword: One Lean, Mean, Word Processing Machine
,----[ Quote ]
| Abiword fills that void for Windows users, and it does so amazingly well.
| That makes it ideal not as a replacement word processing program, but rather
| as a useful -- and eventually, indispensable -- addition to any
| small-business software library.

NLnet Gives KOffice a New Logo and Sponsors ODF development
,----[ Quote ]
| The Dutch NLnet foundation aims to financially support organisations and
| people that contribute to an open information society. Some time ago they
| decided to help KOffice in two exciting ways: to sponsor the design of a new
| logo for KOffice, with matching logo designs for all KOffice applications,
| and to sponsor Girish Ramakrishnan to improve the ODF support in KWord 2.0.
| The KOffice team is deeply grateful to NLnet for this support!

KOffice 2.0 Alpha 7 Released
,----[ Quote ]
| This release is the first to see some results of the OpenDocument Format
| testsuite being imported into KOffice. The testsuite exists from a lot of
| little documents that each show one feature in ODF. Automated testing of
| loading those documents will allow developers to keep on working on the code
| without fear of breaking the already working code. This is known as
| regression testing.
|
| In this release already 23 tests are added into KOffice and the results are
| visible in much better loading of text documents in KWord. KWord is also one
| of the target applications for 2.0, and NLNet has sponsored a developer
| working on that application.

Closing Day at the Release Event
,----[ Quote ]
| Alexander from OpenOffice talked about some of the possibilities of
| OpenDocument including dedicated C libraries to process the format which
| could be shared between apps. KOffice developers discussed plans for an
| OpenDocument API in kdelibs to make use of the format available throughout
| KDE.

Key KOffice Developers Talk About KOffice 2 and Open Standards
,----[ Quote ]
| KOffice standardises on OpenDocument. Free Software and open standards are a
| perfect match and the way to move forward for a society to ensure
| vendor-independent access to its data. We're actively participating in the
| OASIS since it matches our value, and we believe that one strong standard is
| in the best interest of our users.
