Hi there,

I'll write up a section about KOffice today (hoping to finish it in 
time - 12 hours left). Looking through the current user guide, I 
would like to know what you think would be better:

Create a new top-level chapter for "KDE Office", like the "KDE 
Components" chapter, or should it be included in one of the larger 
chapters (like in "KDE Components").

Basically I think a full section would be better, since KOffice is 
quite a large "component" of it's own.

Thinking about it, KDevelop is missing in the user guide as well - but 
it's of course questionable if an IDE is suitable for an "user" 
guide.


I would like to create such a structure:

* KDE Office
	* Introduction to KOffice
		* Features
		* Architecture and Design
		* OASIS OpenDocument file format
	* Document embedding
		* KParts and KOffice
		* Example document
	* KOffice components overview
		* ... [a short intro to all components]
	* Further information
		* Application manuals
		* Internet resources
		* Plugin development

What do you think? Anything missing? (Anyone wants to give me a hand?)
