Hi devs,

I've been snooping the existing documentation on koffice recently and have not 
found anything that really motivates koffice development.  As I'm trying to 
get a good handle on this myself I thought I'd ask if any of these sounded 
correct, and which might be the most accurate...


1.  To produce a comprehensive and integrated suit of tools for open document 
production that fix rather than emulate the presentation and usability 
mistakes of popular commercial software.

2.  To provide a powerful and extensible suit of tools for office and creative 
document production.

3.  To create a compelling suit of office and creative applications that users 
will find it hard to live without.

4.  To create the tools that allow document production to once again be a 
creative process.

5.  To provide a better open office suit than OpenOffice.

6.  To provide a native office suit for the KDE desktop that fills the gaps 
left by other office suits and creative applications.

7. To provide a viable alternative to commercial office and creativity 
applications for the KDE desktop.


... Anyone?


and yes... some of these are lame.  But all I could find out there was this 
(which really depends on KDE as a differentiator):

"KOffice is an integrated office suite built on the KDE platform.
It utilizes free and open standards like OpenDocument for its document 
formats, component communication and component embedding.
KOffice is free software."
