As a reference, two of the threads on kmail-devel and kde-pim
http://lists.kde.org/?t=3D118767653400001&r=3D1&w=3D2
http://lists.kde.org/?t=3D118767635200002&r=3D1&w=3D2
http://lists.kde.org/?t=3D118770349900002&r=3D1&w=3D2

Basically a misconception based on the way applications aggregate=20
functionality on uncooperative platforms such as Windows, i.e. by putting a=
ll=20
in the same application.

Obviously KDE applications, on any platform, can do better, i.e. using our=
=20
framework's cooperation infrastructures and shared libraries.

So the idea/suggestion can be rephrased as "thing about using communication=
=20
infrastructure", which I am pretty sure the KOffice developers are already=
=20
thinking about for future releases, e.g. collaborative editing.

Topics such as this show how more advanced the KDE framework is. While othe=
r=20
office projects have to basically swallow communication tools (probably a=20
full blown PIM suite), KOffice has the option of just interfacing with the=
=20
respective domain specialists' work.

Cheers,
Kevin
