I guess Adobe has finally recognized KOffice. :)  That's good.  I think we 
need a new name.  Fighting a multi billion company will cause casuality to 
both side.  For a free software project, it has the most to loose because we 
don't have as much money.  Beside Adobe Illustrator will be irrelevant in 2 
years time as [new name for KIllustrator] mature.

I think it is unfortunate that the world will run out of words.  There's only 
50,000 words in the English dictionary, and 6 billion people on this planet.  

How about renaming it to KDraw?
