What kind of other data is this and in what format is it? Could it be
something that could be used outside KDE Office?

I guess gnome-vfs will handle this transparently too, so this might
not be a problem. Especially if the rest of the information can be
used aswell.

Hehe, I know :)

As I take it from reading your document based on discussions (nice
work) we have similar and the same goals (even if we haven't been as
good as you guys on getting them printed). I think we can both gain
much on cooperate on most levels (except from implementing since we
clearly have different goals there).

I hope this will lead to both projects getting better and strengthens
both KDE and GNOME with a great project management tool each.
