Calligra docs reference KOffice, notes

Hi,
I remember a thread [1] related to updating docbook entities in the
docs. Below I am adding some notes.

First, Calligra docs still reference KOffice [2]:

"Other Calligra applications include KWord, (word processing),
KPresenter (slide presentation creator) and KChart (for producing
charts and graphs) among others."

Burkhard explained the thing very well and suggested to wait until we
raise minimum kdelibs version requirement.
No matter how clean this solution is indeed, it looks like a minor
reason for raising requirements to me.
If you ask me the #1 priority this to avoid risk of confusion  among
users in *our* own content. Still articles like [3] appear claiming
Kexi is in KOffice and so on.

I would ask for replacing the old entities with plain text for the
upcoming docs release but the text is frozen. So it's too late, right?
A side note: I wouldn't worry too much about one temporary workaround
to achieve that.

All the issues are fixed for anyone who bases the documentation on the
nice userbase docs/translation engine, examples at [4], [5].
Now I not only encourage anyone (who didn't) within Calligra to try it
out but also I'd like to say thank you to all authors of the
documentation engine.
And to the docbook contributors too, since it stays a part of the
process of course.

PS: Moreover the same page calls KDE as 'K Desktop Environment' what's
(as we've been taught on this list) is no longer a proper name.
