I added a question about OOo and KOffice:

How do you see the relation between OpenOffice.org and KOffice?
 
 First, I don't see a competition between these office suites. Both 
have their strengths and are suitable for different situations. A 
very important advantage of both office suites is their common file 
format in the near future. This will make seamless document exchange 
possible and it won't matter which office suite is in use.
 
 A big advantage of KOffice is its KDE base, which makes it more 
lightweight and integrated. OOo brings it's own framework which makes 
the codebase bigger and harder to maintain, but it is necessary to be 
cross platform. And this is what makes OOo more suitable in mixed 
environments - OOo builds the bridge between Windows and Linux/Unix 
whereas KOffice might be a better choice in pure KDE environments. 
OOo is also a suitable brigde between many legacy file formats and 
the OASIS Open Document format.
 
 Seen this way OpenOffice.org and KOffice really complement each other 
rather than compete.


I will declare the interview final now, still if you have any 
concerns, please tell me.

Raphael
