At least we want the build instructions and various rules for conduct (review 
board, mailing lists, etc).  But it would not be bad if we could copy most of 
the existing wiki and perhaps s/koffice/calligra/ everywhere.

I'd like to agree with the other comments that it is more important to give a 
professional impression when we announce than it is to announce on the 
absolute first possible day.  That said, i think we should indeed work as fast 
as we can.

I will start drafting an announcement of the split that I will run past you 
guys here before we send it out.  Or would off list be better?
