Ok, article committed about an hour ago, I did mark up the article in 
HTML to provide a good "look and feel" :) I hope you all (and 
hopefully others as well) will all like it. Now some time for the 
comments.

I think this is an important point, KOffice does have to offer a lot 
in terms of a complete environment (with KDE). These things are 
actually the ones that matter to businesses that actually plan their 
software installations. Still, the fact is of course that for some 
tasks KOffice needs to get more stable. But it's right that the 
awareness of this possibility has to be raised first to have the 
people to reach the realization.

Yes, I believe so as well. It's actually what I had thought about 
during the last days which lead me to the conclusion that we really 
need to bring awareness to it - and that it would be sad if there 
were just not enough developers to utilize this potential. Let's hope 
this is fruitfull.

I think through your support-plans, whatever they be, there is already 
more contribution, feel free to start a new discussion on that 
subject. The list moderator will also "unmoderate" you "hopefully" 
soon.
