Yes, I'm lurking on koffice-devel. It usually takes some time for me to 
respond, but I'll try to help you, in case you have questions about the 
format and/or the implementation.

One first step would be to check out the wv2 CVS tree. In the HEAD branch I 
already started some experiments with image importing, iirc, and the WV_0_2_1 
branch contains the code from the last "official" release (wv2-0.2.3).

The doc/ subdirectory contains a rough outline of the filter's design. This 
knowledge should be enough to be able to port the KOffice part of the filter, 
but feel free to contact me (probably off-list), if you need more detailed 
information. 

Ciao,
Werner
