Maybe; but the release itself brings _SO_ much improvement over the 1.0 version... I prefer the; 'release early, release often' phrase here, otherwise we will never release. Remember that with every release more people see the speed of developent and the potential in general, and more people will use and eventually help developing KOffice. -- Thomas Zander zander@earthling.net The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new _______________________________________________ Koffice-devel mailing list Koffice-devel@master.kde.org http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/koffice-devel
