I fully agree with you Darrell there is no need to try and replicate
kde 4 in doing so you would just be heading in the same direction as
them trinity should be finding its own path those who want all the
kde4 features are still free to chose kde4 there is no need to turn
trinity into another kde4 and doing so would be a mistake in my
opinion.

    I completely agree.

You people miss the point: there is no other office suite in the world which
is so closely integrated with KDE3 as KOffice. For instance, it provides KParts
which are used in say, Konqueror, that's why you can open a text document
in Konqueror like a web page. You can imbed web pages in your documents
as well.

    Unfortunately this is true.

    Also true is how difficult it would be to maintain koffice with
such a small devel group. Its likely the most immediately effective
solution is to leave koffice as is, and use an up to date OOo (or the
like) as possible until the project has enough devel to tacle the
koffice problem.

    Logic dictates; work with the problems you can reach first, the
rest will fall into reach, if any remain.
