Don't you think it would be better in another > package of KDE ? The most important part is integration with other koffice components. This is usually at the "document embedding" level, hence the previous policy of "document creation". However there are other ways to integrate with koffice components: - - the thesaurus application integrates by providing plugins to text processing apps (kword/kpresenter) - - kexi integrates by providing a flexible data source for kword mailmerge (and I believe there are plans for other kinds of integration, like kspread's DB connectivity stuff etc.) etc. A personal finance application doesn't seem to have anything to do with the rest of an office suite, so I see no particular reason for one to be part of koffice. This doesn't mean I wouldn't be happy with such an app in a KDE CVS module, though. - -- David FAURE, david@mandrakesoft.com, faure@kde.org http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ Contributing to: http://www.konqueror.org/, http://www.koffice.org/ Get the latest KOffice - http://download.kde.org/stable/koffice-1.2/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE93L8B72KcVAmwbhARArG7AJ9xiJpMzkc0sWA4efSy3g7HU7Q+jwCeLNhg Ys9f+ooZMitna4I7r/n82es= =Yk+N -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ koffice-devel mailing list koffice-devel@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
