Wow, that really surprises me. Few applications can be tagged as "more or less 
completed". And last time I tried (about a month ago), kformula still lacked 
the support for OpenDocument, which I suppose is a must have for 1.5. And the 
generated MathML has the problems I mentioned (some basic functions, as 
limits and trigonometric, doesn't exist, so it seems that "sin" is "s·i·n", 
which has a very different MathML output).

Thank you for the info. Maybe I should have mentioned that I already lurk 
koffice-devel since a few months, and I use to compile many KDE modules from 
SVN when they are close to a release, so I don't have to wait for 
packagers. :) I'm comfortable with the development procedures, especially, in 
KDE (svn, make, auto*, etc.), so don't worry about that.

I was more concerned about the parts that are more koffice specific, like the 
koffice libs and macros, the embedding, the workspace, etc.

There is a lot of code in the koffice subdirectory, but if you really think 
it's possible to do some stuff without reading most of it, I can try during 
the winter holidays.
