I'd also like to say that I'm not in favor of an all-inclusive approach. I 
think that - in order to present a viable, cohesive, and coherent front - we 
must choose best-of-breed applications.

We should only have one of [Inkscape, Sodipodi]. We should only have one of 
[Evolution, Balsa, Spruce]. Etc....

As it stands, we're viewed as a small set of apps that don't exactly fit in 
together as an office suite. A mess, if you will. If we start adding lots of 
duplicate apps, apps of (arguably) lesser quality, and apps that have 
marginal relation to a typical "office suite" package, all we're left with 
is a bigger mess.

Gnome Office is, in large part, about branding. That brand should not be a 
rubber stamp doled out at will. If it is, it not only tarnishes the Gnome 
Office brand, but also those apps that have been branded by it.
