Great list and structure, I like it!

Just one thing I'd like to get out here :)

This can be interpreted as "why yet another office suite". Which I'm afraid 
will actually be how the majority will interpret the above sentence.

I think we should avoid such implications quite strongly ;)
KOffice has been an opensource suite for longer than OpenOffice has been (and 
thus is the oldest opensource office suite) and it doesn't feel right to show 
us to the users in relation to others. It immediately and irrevocably puts us 
in the shadow of the 'others' ;)

KOffice has various unique features and I feel we should show them to the user 
in a way that they feel this is a better way to get things done then whatever 
they use currently.
The way I think this can be done is by showing real-world users and how they 
can get things done easier and faster in KOffice2.
Naturally the long boring lists of features should be available somewhere. ;)
