Hello dear KOffice developers,
another year went by, and I feel like it's about time for thinking about 
another major KOffice release ;)

I just posted a first and very preliminary schedule for the upcoming version 
of KOffice (1.3) which is available at, as usually, at 
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/koffice-1.3-release-plan.html

I'd like to ask the specific maintainers to go through this list and review 
mainly these points:
- add new features for your app when you think they're are worth mentioning 
and if you are sure this will indeed appear in the final version
- cry out if the schedule is too tight, we have still enough time to change it 
:-)
- please add entries for new/improved filters (Nicholas?)
- please take some time and update the webpage for your application; take some 
great screenshots, update the information about current version, features, 
maintainers etc (most stuff is _really_ outdated!!!)

What could be the major goals of this version[1]?
- get more and better looking templates (this is a must IMHO)
- new icons? (I've heard the artists are making some new crystal icons 
exclusively for KOffice)
- incorporate/finish Krita/Karbon, make sure they work consistently with the 
rest of apps (drag'n'drop, copy&paste, etc.)
- find a _real_ maintainer for Kivio

Since I have little idea about the graphic apps we have, I'd appreciate some 
status info about the current state of Krita, Karbon and Kontour (and also 
KExi). If an app lacks an active maintainer and is unfinished/broken, it will 
get moved to kdenonbeta (seems to be the case for Kontour or KoSoap).

Last but not least, I'd like to thank David Faure for having been a wonderful 
maintainer of the past few KOffice versions. I hope I'll manage to pull some 
tasks off his back so he can concentrate on more interesting (and 
important[2]) things, thanks David!

Thanks for your attention, keep the mails coming :)
