KOffice - Portability in Action
,----[ Quote ]
| I have on several occasions been asked "why do
| you work on KOffice when OpenOffice.org
| already exists and does everything people
| need?". Well, there are several reasons why
| OpenOffice.org (OOo) is not the end-all of
| free office suites. This blog is the first in
| a series that will outline why KOffice is
| necessary and why it may in fact be the real
| future of the free office suites.
|
| [...]
|
| So, the combination of these two makes KOffice
| uniquely suited for non-standard platforms.
| Non-standard by desktop standards, that is.
| Most people today agree that mobile is the
| future. And maybe so is KOffice...

KOffice - We Have a Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| At the end of November, the KOffice developers
| met in Oslo for their semi-annual developer
| sprint. You have probably read some of the many
| blog entries from that meeting or read some of
| the news articles that Jos Poortvliet wrote on
| the dot.
|
| Many things were discussed during the meeting,
| and one of them is how we can make KOffice
| mature enough for real users. If you have
| followed KOffice development, you have probably
| noticed that in all our release announcements,
| the latest of them for KOffice 2.1, we always
| labeled KOffice as not yet ready for real
| production usage. This is now about to change.

| One aspect of KOffice 2.1 that is ready for prime
| time is the Karbon vector graphics program.
| According to Nuno Pinheiro, designer of the Oxygen

| definitely usable for real work even if [it] lacks
| a few advanced SVG features."
