In former time, there was a hailing for help, aka <a href="http://dot.kde.org/1045754124/">
icon contest for KOffice</a>, time has passed since then, Ismail Donmez reports:

Sorry to inform you that Koffice Icon Contest was a complete disaster for me.
Although idea got high votes @ kde-look.org nobody submitted anything for
contest nor even contact me about it. So I guess I failed on my all
estimations.

What will happen with all the children now?
Cheer up, cartman, we won't despair, because yet - there is hope.

Once upon a time, a brave artist known as Everaldo came to contribute
<a href="http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=2539">Crystals</a>,
which became quickly famous among the free-(os)-world.

Through the dark woods of the wildernis, it has been heralded by Sven Lueppken:

<quote who="Sven Lueppken">

Yes, indeed, I spoke with Everaldo and he wants to contribute Crystal icons
for KOffice. I wrote him another mail today, will wait till I get an answer
and inform you then :)

So fear not, whilst we await the day of his shape in the dawn on the horizon.

<p>Once i was looking for a good chart-drawing programm. I gave up.
Andreas Nicolai was also on the search and is now trying a different approach,
saying:
<p>

<quote who="Andreas Nicolai">

I just wanted to ask whether there is someone actively developing KChart at
the moment. I'm desperately looking for a good chart drawing program under
linux and failed to find one yet. But if there would be a way to join the
developer team and actively enhance and improve KChart I really would be
pleased to hear from you.

In the response, Karl-Heinz Zimmer explains the current situation. :

<quote who="Karl-Heinz Zimmer">

As written (in PM) to Andreas I probably *ought* to contribute
considerably more time and brain to KChart development!
(and I kind of feel guilty for having done literally nothing in that
 area since ages)


The current situation is that KD Chart can do *lots* of things a KChart
user has no idea about since the KChart configuration dialogs cover only
about 50% (or less) of the configuration options by KD Chart.


Also - and this is of equal importance - I did not update the KChart
sources since quite a while: the reason for this is that we actively
prepared our KD Chart 1.0 release and all development time and brain
was put on getting this done.

</quote>
Yes. I'd love to see some work in this area..If you
are wondering what's the difference between KD Chart and KChart: KD Chart = backend,
KChart = frontend aka the one who knows what to do vs the one you see and tell what
to do.

<a href="http://www.kde-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=karamba">Karamba</a>!
If you believe it's about the Simpsons, rather check out the new section on
<a href="http://www.kde-look.org">kde-look</a>, eat the shorts later if you can't
make the weather-theme work, like me. 
If you think it's a good thing to integrate into KDE, you might want to wait a minute
before you start coding. At the moment there are at least 3 different versions of
Karamba, but the effort is underway to merge these three into one. Now, go ahead
for <a href="www.kde-look.org">eye-kandy</a> or for shorts..

If you have some news for the KC KDE, you can make it be read. Here. Join the
<a href="http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kc-kde">kc-kde</a> list.
You might have heard that there is an effort to merge KMail, KOrganizer and
KAddressbook into one application. Did ye, he? Anyways, you can watch it's current
state <a href="http://ktown.kde.org/~danimo/kontact_mail.png">here</a>
, ehrm, <a href="http://ktown.kde.org/~danimo/kontact_organizer.png">here</a>
 and.. maybe <a href="http://ktown.kde.org/~danimo/kontact_addressbook.png">here</a>.
Notice the working geodata plug-in!! Thus the groupware functionality is not yet
in place, i feel like saying wooohaaa!!!! Okay, back to business. Nice work by the way.
