Re: redifining GNOME office.

["Ken VanDine" <ken vandine org>]

I definately agree.  Not sure I agree with wikipedia says makes up
GNOME Office.  But we need something that we can say works together,
abiword, gnumeric and gnome-db for sure.  We still need a presentation
app, criawips also seems dead.  Lets get these revitalized.

I know people just say OpenOffice.org is good enough, I simply don't
agree.  Yes it is very full featured and pretty compatible with M$
Office.  However, it isn't well integrated in GNOME.  One of the
things I love about GNOME is out well integrated things are.  But OOo
has it's own print dialog... just for a simple example.  We need
something to fill this void.

I don't think GNOME Office should be a product by itself, but more of
a collaboration of other projects to play well together.  The biggest
issue I see right now is the lack of a impress alternative.  Anyone
know the status of criawips?
