Don't know, I just read the above mentioned press release.

Is someone from the KDE PR department able to write a good article about
the already existing possibilities of koffice, like; XML standard, language 
support and when only one application is needed the rest of the office suite
is not loaded.

Perhaps it will be possible to attract 1% (only) of the openoffice developers 
to koffice.  This would mean that the koffice development team will be 
extended with 17 people!!!
