Hi Phillip,

I hope not :-) I guess a typical "media - pictured" geek wouldn't even care
about such boring stuff as office productivity software ;-)

I am not sure... Of course - this is open source project, but still some
roadmap, or vision, would be usefull. If only to suggest to other would-be
developers (or non professional supporters, I mean non-programmers) what can
be done within the project, and when to start worrying that the project has
stalled and needs help. Things like
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/timeline.html, or even (ehm)
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.1-features.html :-)

Homepage (you mean - http://www.koffice.org/kspread/?) - sure, I would like
to improve it :-) Not that I am a great web designer or something, but...
How can I help?

Right, I should have checked it before :(

OK. Sorry for my ignorance, but you mean KOFFICE_1_2_RELEASE? Would it the
same as compiled version shipped with, say, Mandrake 9.0?

>For home/private purposes, KSpread (and KOffice in general) is already fine

Speaking of this - for me KSpread seems to be the most finished of main
KOffice components. It might be because of the fact that in most cases
spreadsheet usage does not require sophisticated WYSIWYG capabilities to get
the work done, though :-)

Thanks for answering,
