Yes, I reckon so as well. Umm, so the time of freeze is open again?
Like, not mid-January ?

Yes, I am aware of this. But most of the changes that I plan won't be
affecting the displaying part, at least not in the branch - I mostly
want to improve the core and split core/display. KoText can come in
afterwards, although, we'll see... It's difficult to make any precise
plans for something this far.

We'll see. Hrm, won't having Qt4 and kdelibs-4.0 be sufficient to work
on KDE4 version of KOffice ?

Like, having KOffice ready by the time KDE4 comes out ? Yes, I reckon
it shall be necessary... Not sure if I'll be able to finalize the
branched KSpread by that time, but then, time will tell... ;)
Something surely will be possible in any situation I can be thrown
into...
