I've just started a site for KOffice users at http://koffice.wikidot.com

There is a forum guestbook and visitors can also post to the "page 
discussions" category in the forum as well as create a new page.  If you 
create the new page, provide a link to it in the "page discussions" 
category and I'll provide a link somewhere on the site.  I may move your 
new page in the process.  I think probably a Krita page would be the go.

Please join the site if you wish.  It has been mentioned on the KOffice 
news page and on the KOffice general mailing list.
