Unlike you seem to appreciate the KOffice developers actually read, 
understood the implications and support the proposal. Please don't be so 
negative and reflect that upon others as well.

Right. It seems that you are the only one that has missed all the blogs 
(read mine for a start) and cool stuff going on based on Qt4.

Well, I appreciate you wanting a more rules based and more strict 
development cycle. Please appreciate that a lot of the people here like 
the more 'herding of cats' way of working common in open source where 
creative solution finding (like coolo initiated with this thread) being 
the norm.  I'd say that that is a good thing.

I'm the first to say that the last two weeks were below par on the issues 
we are talking about here. And yet, there were various grass roots 
efforts in the koffice community to follow the daily updates. Really; 
your image of us lowly app developers needs some shining :)
