I know this is offtopic, "But",

KOffice as a project impresses me. You guys are
continuing proof that Free Software really can
do what needs to be done. As ESR pointed out a
few years back: when RMS announced GNU, the
pundits said that he'd never be able to write all
the little utilities. But he did. And then they
said that nobody would ever write the Kernel.
But Linus did. And then, most recently, they said
Linux would never really get a Free office suite.

It seems to me that the nature of this kind
of development is a "why the hell not?" thing. So
what if it fails? You tried. There's really
nothing to lose ('cept a lot of time :), and a
lot to gain.

So, for an ambitious project that's come far,
I'd like to say "well done!".

be well;

JC.
