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.
