Well, I vote for an extra GNOME Office release. So we have a clean
distinction between:

. GNOME Core (the desktop and main utilities/applications)
. GNOME Office (all the productivity/business applications)
. GNOME Extra Apps (all other applications, which doesn't belong to the
above categories)

Also we would have a good counterpart to KOffice.

We shouldn't be so lame and imitate Microsoft produkt names (ok, we do it
with "Office" already, but that is something different :-).

        ^^^^^^^ not appropriate.

My 2 cents to the discussion:

o GNOME Buddy Bundle
o GNOME Xtension Apps
o Bag Full Of GNOME 
o GNOME Coding Collection (GCC ;-)
