Why not just "KOffice pre-release (Titanic)" no reason to make it
more complicated than it should be.

I guess it will need to wait a bit till HEAD is in somewhat more 
stable waters. Releasing koffice without the needed kdelibs/kdebase/
mico/Qt looks quite impossible to me. 

In the roadmap there is a 1.1.2/1.2 and a 1.89 foreseen. I think 
it  would be best to aim to include koffice in the 1.89 release. 
Having  another release for koffice alone which is incompatible 
with every other release looks very unattractive to me.

If we aim for an early 1.89 once HEAD is stabilized we can always
add 1.90, 1.91, etc.

We shouldn't release 1.89 too close before/after 1.1.2/1.2. That
way we can benefit most from the publicity generated by the release.

Cheers,
Waldo
