Jens,

Based on discussions long ago with the maintainers and the old
Steering Committee, everyone decided that making a "GNOME Office"
release now would be premature, although we want to do it in the long
term. On the other hand, we'd like to keep the GNOME release proper
down to the core desktop and development platform. So for now, the
only place to put the office type apps is in the extra apps release.
