What I wrote was "not ready for release", there is a huge difference there :)

First, "trunk" is a misnomer, we have a repository of koffice that is subjected 
to the release cycle, to freezes and source incompatible changes every now and 
then.
Second; "the koffice community" does not end at the borders of the koffice repo. 
There already is the kofficetest one and we have had izi and other branches of 
koffice too. we can easily have a kofficeplugins repo.

You will have to accept that there are people that want to start a project 
outside the koffice repository. They may want to follow only a released version 
(since otherwise you have to compile all of KOffice) they may want to ignore 
things like strings freeze. People may even not be sure they can put any time 
into the project to 'finish' it.
As I said, you will have to accept that people feel that way. And we should 
pull those people into the community and create a kofficeplugins repository to 
accommodate them.

Its growing the community by allowing others that don't work exactly like you 
to be part too.
