KOffice 1.5 Feature Plan

Foreword

Please look at KOffice Task Lists (and at other developer resources for KOffice).

Long term goals for a KOffice 2.0 were defined at the Kastle conference. Some goals that were set for 1.4 have not been attained yet: aKademy 2004 koffice meeting minutes".

Due to the uneven manpower available to KOffice the following list can be considered neither as a minimum nor as exhaustive for KOffice 1.5.

The KOffice 1.5 series is mainly a feature release for the Krita, Karbon and Kexi components.

See also the Krita wiki and Kexi wiki for up-to-date information on goals and activities.
