Hello KOffice Team,
(First of all: I love your great work. Im a big fan of koffice an
watching the development closely.)
Koffice-specific Font
-------
I am a owner of a big German Web Statistics provider
(http://flashcounter.com) . I working on a satistic that analyse he
adoption of Office Suites. To do so I analyse the Fonts (via
CSS/JS-Tricks) installed on users computers. Most of the Office Suites
have characteristic fonts, they install with them (e.g. "OpenSmybol" for
OpenOffice and derivatives). Therefore i can determine if a specific
Office Suite is installed by measuring them (with relatively small error
range).
It took me a long time to figure out the corret fonts for a number of
office suites.
For KOffice I figured out "Arev Sans" and "cmex10" but the latter is
included in some other applications and the disribution is 5 times
higher than the former.
Do you think I can use "Arev Sans" as a predictable candidate? Since
when is it included in Koffice. I did not find other significant proucts
shipping it.
Thank you for your help. I think you could be interested in the numbers.
Koffice.org links
-------
While looking for Koffice information i was a bit disappointed on
koffice.org (althoug the new blog is awesome), because i hal to consult
google several times to find the koffice wiki, because I knew it existed
but could not find a link on your site.
Could you put a link to the wiki on the page? As well as to the
Mailinglist (+ Archives on Nabble), the IRC, the bugzilla. I think the
Koffice related Information is very scattered across different sites -
so you need at least links from the central place koffice.org
Windows Downloads
-------
In my opinion you could get a very large userbase by providing a simple
installer for windows without using the koffice installer. Nobody but
geeks (like me:) would install an office suite in such a complicate way.
Windows still has a >95% market share, so you will loose a large
userbase (and developerbase!) if you don't provide an easy way for
people to try the software. I think you already had the idea, but please
make it high priority.
Especially when you'll get broad news coverage with Koffice 2.1, you
should provide the users an easy solution (BIG DOWNLOADBUTTON :) or
you'll miss a big oppertunity.
Greetings,
Thomas Hümmer
