I agree on the beta interface conclusion. KWord beta7 is still not really 
showing the direction and vision that the KOffice guys have started.  So I can 
see how you came to the suggestions you made.

I think the other posters in this thread already were clear with feedback on 
your proposal and I want to add that I am looking forward to getting 2.0.0 out 
the door and the feature freeze lifting so we can do some more actual design 
on the user interface and furthering the vision of the KOffice suite.

Especially the point of staying in the design that lives in the minds of the 
people that have been writing KOffice2 for the last 3 years is something that 
will make it very hard for you to come up with something that the KOffice team 
likes. Especially since, as said, I'm really looking forward to doing this 
work myself :)

For GSoC the proposals that I shall put my backing to are things that are not 
extending the core or touching code on a dozen dockers etc.  I would back 
proposals that use the KOffice plugin structure to add functionality and 
options.  I've said that before, and I'll say it again. We made KOffice extend-
able for a reason, its a great thing for beginner developers and for enhancing 
all KOffice applications while shielding developers from the hard parts.
