• # Mais que va t'il rester aux autres suites bureautiques ?

    Pour KOffice, pas de souci à se faire. Au contraire, le fait qu'OpenOffice se développe va répandre le format de fichier utilisé par KOffice, et beaucoup se rendront alors compte qu'ils peuvent utiliser cette jolie suite, suffisante pour pas mal de choses, et apportant quand même pas mal de choses par rapport à OpenOffice pour l'utilisateur de KDE :

    KOffice is built on KDE. This advantage brings enormous potential in terms of integration, performance, scalability, and with the coming full support for the OASIS Open Document Format, even portability. All these factors are vital for business deployments. The KOffice team is looking for contributors and developers to significantly increase and utilize the potential of KOffice even further.

    The functionality KOffice has already reached in its short life is significant. And still, KOffice has good performance and is fully usable on low-end hardware, which makes it suited for organizations and individuals. This could even save costs when upgrading or migrating the office software and old hardware can be reused.

    Because KOffice is built directly on KDE, it can offer the best office experience on a KDE desktop. Many excellent technologies already present in the KDE Framework are available for KOffice at almost no cost. Examples are:

    * Automation via DCOP
    * Document location abstraction (remote file editing) via KIO
    * Fully object oriented design through the Qt and KDE Frameworks
    * Application Embedding through KParts

    Additionally KOffice extends the application embedding capability (KParts) of KDE to allow highly integrated documents. Such a close KDE integration also results in fast application load time, while still having all these features available.

    Much work has already been done and central office components like KWord, KPresenter, Kivio and KSpread are quite stable with only a few glitches here and there.

    And KOffice has many more applications to offer that will be included in next major releases:

    * Krita (Pixmap Graphics)
    * Kexi (Database Frontend)
    * KPlato (Project Management)
