I do respect you on choosing the right thing for KOffice.

~3 months ago boud started doing his library work, great stuff. The 
presentation made clear that after the splitting there was a suggestion to 
make one KOffice library, but it was not decided yet. [1]
Then nothing happened on this topic for quite some time. When boud went on 
holiday I asked around, who can continue his work. We have a release 
deadline. Nobody seemed to know details. We did get a mail but that was a 
bit short on details. Note how reintegrating widgets libs and the relation 
to 'komain'. [2]
Some weeks ago I integrated the patch from Pierre and was hit by how 
unfinished the work was [3]. So I took it on myself to finish it.
I send emails, send patches, ask for suggestions on next steps and last make 
a proposal for a next step. All fine, nobody objects.

Then I commit and boud immediately tells me to revert. I also get the strong 
suggestions I leave the project. Ironically telling me I can't work 
together.

So, my perspective is that I'm finishing the work that someone else started 
and I'm trying to be very nice about it and work together to go in the same 
direction and the result is that I get screamed at.
At that point I personally would suggest to invoke the "He who does the work 
decides" rule.

So, really, the only reason I'm not finishing this important work is because 
I respect your decision.
