I agree with Cyrille and think that using exiting infrastructure makes it much 
simpler for everybody. So I really like the idea of having an extra product 
where features which are not likely to be implemented by any of the existing 
developers can be moved to. I don't think we should say the feature will never 
be included if there is someone that implements it and contributes it to be 
available with koffice. This also helps with integrating new people in koffice.
It also makes it easier as only one tool will be used for all the things.
