Apologies for not being more clear about this; I see that my mail could be read in different ways. Tom is right, my intention was his point 2. I hope thats possible. The confusion about this is my fault as I didn't explain the scope of my request very well. Sorry about that. The request is only for those 3 apps and their plugins. This is a far far cry from what was released before as "KOffice". Its just 3 apps where most of their code is shared in one lib, all of this is well maintained. I hope that makes clear the request is much smaller than you might think when you read this as a next koffice release. Its not a next koffice release, there is no political background other than getting the much more stable versions of this software to users. > > I don't have a problem with you releasing KOffice separately, but at > > the same > > time as the SC releases, but I don't think we should make it part of > > the KDE > > SC. > > We have released extragear application at the same time as the main > modules.
