Redundant as in Coffice contains already a C==Calligra? Yes, well. That 
name refers also to my preference for coffee & cola while hacking: 
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=coffice :) Also 
redundancy is something rather common in FLOSS. May it be in Calligra's 
code (just look my last review-request, but yes, its way better today 
then it was years ago), in naming (acronyms, redundancy, jokes - hello 
libkok :).

Anyhow. If that's somehow a problem would renaming solve it? And if yes, 
what's a better name to show its just another flavor of Calligra just 
like Calligra Mobile, Documents on the N9, Calligra Active, Calligra 
Kids (which is afaik gone but well, we once had plans there with a 
specialized interface), ...

hmmm... Ok, I changed the description from "alpha-version" to 
"experimental alpha-version".  Now it says "Experimental alpha version 
with support for Words only, more to come later" or so.

FYI: In fact all that started with Sheets and I have a compiling and 
linking Sheets already. The reasons why I switched to Words are that a) 
Sheets makes way lesser use of calligralibs and getting calligralibs 
working and proper tested was very important cause b) Words and Stage 
share quit a lot of code/logic and so having Words done its a small(er) 
step to Stage. The thing is that I like to first focus on the 
foundations, that means get Words proper threaded, before adding more 
and more to the mix. That's what I will work on next.

For the "for Android" part: That's what I wrote and what most 
news-articles took over even in there headlines, no? Anyhow, its also 
clear that that isn't 100% true cause I actually did/do most of the work 
on my KDE desktop, where the app runs and works fine too, and only test 
on the device from time to time or for things like multi-touch where 
desktop isn't that good. Probably would make sense I add it to OBS so 
there are packages for desktop Linux. Will look at it. Also its clear 
that BB10 and Sailfish are very much on top of my list. Anyhow, I think 
the interesting news here for now is indeed the "runs on Android and 
heer are the packages" part and that's what most news-articles took 
over. imho a good message.

Not sure what's misleading or how I could address that. Its now 
"experimental Words only" (more coming later)" what imho sums it good up.
