Re: Balancing feature race and stability
by Thomas Zander on Tuesday 06/Jun/2006, @04:17

I hoped that it goes without saying that the stability and lack of features like tables and kerning are at the top of the list of things to do.
But I guess that the years of false promises by the software creators at large have skewed that perspective.
My fault for not expecting it. Sorry about that.

The creation of these two libraries move the development from several separate islands into one community with the positive effects that has with regards to peer reviews and code reuse (which means less code and thus less bugs).

Completely separate from this article, KOffice 2.0 will bring a new text engine for KWord to get rid of a lot of problems we had in previous versions. Including kerning and printing (wysiwyg).

This vision is not a list of features, its, well, a vision of the way we think it will look. We did not steal it, we are innovating. That does not mean that we don't care about stability and basic features.

Thanks for your feedback!
