It's already done, afaik.
You should talk about that with the KOffice guys though, I'm not sure of its
current state.
We would need a way to read a shape from another shape. I'm CC'ing a couple
of koffice guys who can help you with this.

As I said, libanalitza (KAlgebra) already has a parser and some CAS
features, I'm not going to start another one from scratch. We could use
libanalitza (kalgebra's library) to convert from mathml to maxima/maple/any
cas if you wish.

As always, any help (as a patch, idea or anything) is welcome.

Thanks,
Aleix

PS: If you want, you could join us in the irc, just do it, you will find me
there most of the days.
