What will be needed, however, is collaborative features in KOffice, such as versioning, recording of changes, documunt comparison, and better annotations. Something similar to Sharepoint Team Services...and speaking of Kolab, is the goal to produce something "native" to KDE that can take advantage of the KDE API (kio, DCOP, etc.), and in that thought, is Qt (now or in the near future) going to become network-centric enough to develop full-blown servers with (mail, Web, document storage, etc.)? Judging from the power of KDE's client-side protocol support, I'd imagine one could build some advanced server-side stuff, too.
