It's a koffice app, so i'd think koffice-1.4.
IMO it's not ready for release yet, for the following reasons:

- It's not quite koffice compliant.

- It should be usefull. Doesn't need to have a lot of functionality, 
but what's in there should be consistent and usefull for planning a 
project. There are still bad ui, loose ends and false starts laying 
around, atm I try to focus on this, so we get a firmer footing for 
future development. I wouldn't like to release something where at 
least the ui immediately needs to be redesigned completely.

- Being a koffice app sets a fairly high standard, I think. IMHO any 
koffice app should be 1.0 before included, ie be stable and complete 
(even though in a minimal way).

I would have loved some sort of koffice/extras where apps not quite on 
par with minimum requirements could be released. This would imo also 
benefit koffice as such, as users wouldn't be so easily disappointed 
with *koffice* just because some app is not so far advanced.
