Decoupling GNOME Office?

[Maciej Stachowiak <mjs eazel com>]

Most release coordination issues will be hashed out mainly on
gnome-1.4-list, but this is an issue of broader interest.

Many people have talked about decoupling the release of GNOME Office
from GNOME itself. I propose we implement this starting with the GNOME
1.4 release.

A bit after GNOME 1.4, we'd release GNOME Office 1.4, including
gnumeric, dia, and whatever other apps want to provide versions for it
(gnucash? AbiWord? achtung? Maybe some OpenOffice components will be
ready? Maybe the gimp folks want to include a version?)

What do people think of this proposal?
