Umbrello and Calligra

[Jaroslaw Staniek]

Hello,
There was question about sense or value of Umbrello-Calligra integration.
Since Kexi is in Calligra and closer to Umbrello than other Calligra
apps, there would be sense to have some integration.
E.g. Umbrello handles uses for software modelling, Kexi for software
development (and yet, data-oriented).

Just my 2c:

In addtion to the fact that Flake is more high-level than QGV, there
is clear use case for UML modelling software derived from the the
typical workflow: IML diagrams eventually land in wordprocessing
documents. Thus, Umbrello reusing Flake could make it easier to embed
the diagrams on pages and easier control the presentation settings
(compared to KParts). Possible fallback to bitmaps (typical in ODF and
MS Office formats) would give the chance to handle the needs of
compatibility with other office suites. These things seem to be
_exciting_ for someone who design software, and would want to use
fresh FOSS tools for this process, like the undersigned.

It's all up to Jonathan and Camilla for now.
