In this case they would have office suite for symbian and maemo if it's possible to scale KOffice to those devices and it could be ported to android too. At least reading documents would be great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-82622509573612495752008-11-09T16:58:00.000+01:002008-11-09T16:58:00.000+01:00jospoortvliet made a very important and true state...jospoortvliet made a very important and true statement. KOffice is not about competing with several years old office suites which have developer and financial resources like MS Office or SO/OOo. It's about flexibility and integration.<BR/>But I wonder how can seemingly small companies like softmaker ( http://www.softmaker.com/english/of_en.htm ) develop their products in such a tremendous pace while even achieving high compatibility (in many respects better than OOo) to MS Office. I hope the "comercial" KOffice ( http://www.kofficesource.com/ ) will succeed any-time soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-78752582848294328632008-11-09T14:52:00.000+01:002008-11-09T14:52:00.000+01:00@ anonymous: don't expect KOffice to be able to re...@ anonymous: don't expect KOffice to be able to replace OO.o anytime soon, esp if you use the more advanced features. KOffice needs more resources to really take advantage of it's architecture and get up to feature parity with the big boys. Feature parity is actually not even on the radar for the developers. KOffice will focus on it's strengths - flexibility and adaptability for specific usecases. It needs developers focusing on specific goals and users.<BR/><BR/>Btw OO.o isn't using GTK - if it was, it would at least be less of a NIH show ;-)Jos Poortvliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243886270488333877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-29886098693434313352008-11-09T14:11:00.000+01:002008-11-09T14:11:00.000+01:00I hope to see koffice replace my openoffice instal...I hope to see koffice replace my openoffice installation... it's too big, it's too slow and it's too....GTKish... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
