Early Q1 2008, I'm afraid. It's no use denying that KDE 4.0 is not progressing
as fast as we thought it would, and at the same time, we've got our own share
of delays. Some caused by too much ambition, some caused by personal
circumstances like illness. But I'm really confident that we're getting there
now.

Not that one, then... But don't underestimate the amount of exposure the name
KOffice already has had: it is mentioned alongside OO in every news item on
ODF, for instance.

Inge and I are already busy setting up a space for a KOffice web forum, but we
need a good moderator/admin type. Interested?
