First, I want to thank you for your efforts.  From time to time I have mentioned that 
design and engineering is at least as important as writing the actual code.

You should probably subscribe to the 'koffice' & 'koffice-devel' mailing lists.

Specifically, you mention the need for a grid and snap to grid.  These are much needed 
features.  But, please see the archives of the 'koffice' mailing list for the vehement and 
hostile reaction I received when I suggested something like this.  So, be warned, the 
"arrogant developers" might not appreciate your treading on their turf.
