I'm sorry to say that for the 10 people working on KOffice this is not an o=
ption,
its not like people can plan time to work on KOffice...

Further its an open source project, we can't force people to work on a cert=
ain
part because that is what companies want. If we ask that, those people will=
=20
leave very soon..

I certainly hope the list of features and the promise of KOffice will lead=
=20
many users down the path to be a participants.=20

I'm just worried that we will be swamped with requests for info and get lit=
tle=20
to no code from those some people... :(

What we need in this is users that help other users, coders that will help =
users
and the other way around.

So, go to the bugs.kde.org, look at the KOffice application of your choice =
and take
a nice little feature you think you can implement, we can help you, natural=
ly...

Thank you for your time ;)
