Agree with that. Also kugar can't be used stand-alone, it needs some 
other app to produce data for it.

You can use that argument against kplato as a whole, it's not going to 
be much use for most people ;) It's a 0.x release and will obviously 
lack many essential functions for serious use. (The main thing imo is 
to generate some interrest.)
I would have loved to have something like 'extras' to really indicate 
to people that this isn't quite up to koffice standards.
