Yes, user awareness matters. I was surprised to discover
how many apps
come under KOffice. If you want the logo designed with
Krita, someone
has to be using it and it's necessary to reach that someone
with a
request for a logo. tuxmachines lets subscribers write
blogs. I
thought I could start writing about KOffice, the coming 2.0
version,
plans for user support, the need for a website designer and
a graphics
designer, anything at all. raiden's realm is another site
which
supports Kde and I could pay it a visit.
Those are my first thoughts. Until a few days ago I thought
KOffice 2.0
was still a long way off and I was thinking of having to
continue with
OO for another 12 months or so. I was trying to work up
enthusiasm to
re-write my Calc scripts in Python to ease the eventual
transfer. That
was not an inviting prospect. Creating a small test file
for KSpread
scripts now seems like a viable step to take and I'd much
rather do that
than re-write scripts for Calc. I'd much rather be working
on KOffice
(which looks like the future) than OO (which looks awful as
past,
present or future).
As I began by saying, a couple of us have even discussed the
possibility
of developing a new suite. My associate is looking at Lotus
Symphony.
Using those names seems almost like blasphemy to me. I
suppose it will
be a long time, if ever, before we see the likes of Lotus
123, AmiPro
and their companions again. I could do more in an hour with
AmiPro than
I could do in a day with Writer. After reading the comments
here, I'm
quite enthused about KOffice. I think more people will feel
the same
way if they find out what lies ahead.
