I think this is an excellent approach. 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.

Cheers,

Eron
