KOffice: I never piped in on that debate, but I see no reason to maintain most of KOffice. LibreOffice is more than acceptable as a replacement. I do think the wiki needs to be updated with instructions how to build LibreOffice to ensure native KDE3/Trinity file picker support (using the --enable-kde build option). I think a handful of apps from KOffice should be maintained, such as Kivio, Krita, etc. I don't see a need to maintain the main apps.
When you put it that way... Is it possible to maintain a subset of KOffice? Like Darell said, only a handful of apps? Or is it all or nothing?
You people miss the point: there is no other office suite in the world which is so closely integrated with KDE3 as KOffice. For instance, it provides KParts which are used in say, Konqueror, that's why you can open a text document in Konqueror like a web page. You can imbed web pages in your documents as well.
There is no such thing in Libre/Open Office. There was a project named Cuckooo, but it does not build now https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=cuckooo&project=home%3AA...
