Well, as I have said before -- the focus was on the usability aspects of the 
toolbox/docker interaction. But maybe that was too difficult a task for a 
beginning student.

Unfortunately, I think that Neha started without really realising what the 
focus was meant to be and she spent some time doing something like a 
comparison of KWord to MS Word 2007. Later she got the idea, and did send out 
some documents and we still have to have a final meeting.

It's a pity Neha didn't manage to interact with the developers more (she 
complained that she very seldom got a response from the people she mailed, but 
then, she should have been more active in our public discussion channels, such 
as this list and #koffice), and I'm afraid that the results of her work are 
not particularly useful. I've checked in the last documents she produced in 
http://www.koffice.org/developer/summer_of_usability_2008.

I think it is -- well, we should try to remove the title, and maybe add a nice 
graphic with the application icon or logo on top.
