Well, that is more or less what I had planned to do with the 2 import filters 
for the KWord 1.3 file format. However nobody showed even any sign that he 
would plan to help me on the filters. (That is still open!)

So I do not know if I want to do that again. (Currently I am trying to finish 
sub-projects instead of (always) creating new ones.)

Yes, that is a problem too, even if I have now a little more ideas how to do 
it.
