Thanks for comments Jaroslaw, All icons are also open sourced to Calligra(Koffice) so there should be no maemo specific proprietary things left anymore. Will check that , yes sure there is certainly some more improvements we can put into FreOffice. What you suggest is doable, I will consult with Mani and Lassi, will aim to fix the above aspects.

Yes this is on wish list,I hope we can address the netbook ux for MeeGo platform after the mobile ux. I see it could be very useful 

One of the topic I listed down is put down a cleaner API between UI Layer and the Calligra Core Engine. In the last developer sprint we discussed about collecting all the APIs we have used of the core engine for developing the UI, so that we can make these APIs more stable. I would like to start discussing this as these set of APIs if well documented and kept unchanged or with minimal changes or well managed could help demonstrate how to create new UIs and as well as help evolve multiple UIs on top of Calligra Core leading to the ODFOfficeKit ideas we were discussing in earlier sprints.  We made a list of APIs used and documented earlier I believe we did not share this yet, maybe it would be good to discuss this at the sprint but meanwhile worthwhile sharing this document across for discussion over email.

As I received general supporting emails in renaming FreOffice to Calligra Mobile over email and IRC can I assume it is ok to proceed with renaming to Calligra Mobile ? We may also want to use a different logo for the application. Currently FreOffice uses KOffice Logo, is there a subset of Calligra logo we can use for Calligra (Mobile) where (mobile) can be in subset ?  Who can help in graphics from the KDE community ?
