hi, congrats for publicity but i'm suggesting not introducing

Redundant as in Coffice contains already a C==Calligra? Yes, well. That
name refers also to my preference for coffee & cola while hacking:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=coffice :) Also
redundancy is something rather common in FLOSS. May it be in Calligra's
code (just look my last review-request, but yes, its way better today
then it was years ago), in naming (acronyms, redundancy, jokes - hello
libkok :).
Anyhow. If that's somehow a problem would renaming solve it? And if yes,
what's a better name to show its just another flavor of Calligra just
like Calligra Mobile, Documents on the N9, Calligra Active, Calligra
Kids (which is afaik gone but well, we once had plans there with a
specialized interface), ...
just writing
'experimental calligra words for android' would imho say it clearly
what's the effort is about atm...
hmmm... Ok, I changed the description from "alpha-version" to
"experimental alpha-version". Now it says "Experimental alpha version
with support for Words only, more to come later" or so.
FYI: In fact all that started with Sheets and I have a compiling and
linking Sheets already. The reasons why I switched to Words are that a)
Sheets makes way lesser use of calligralibs and getting calligralibs
working and proper tested was very important cause b) Words and Stage
share quit a lot of code/logic and so having Words done its a small(er)
step to Stage. The thing is that I like to first focus on the
foundations, that means get Words proper threaded, before adding more
and more to the mix. That's what I will work on next.
For the "for Android" part: That's what I wrote and what most
news-articles took over even in there headlines, no? Anyhow, its also
clear that that isn't 100% true cause I actually did/do most of the work
on my KDE desktop, where the app runs and works fine too, and only test
on the device from time to time or for things like multi-touch where
desktop isn't that good. Probably would make sense I add it to OBS so
there are packages for desktop Linux. Will look at it. Also its clear
that BB10 and Sailfish are very much on top of my list. Anyhow, I think
the interesting news here for now is indeed the "runs on Android and
heer are the packages" part and that's what most news-articles took
over. imho a good message.
That's my first impression after
reading mislesding info on newssites...
Not sure what's misleading or how I could address that. Its now
"experimental Words only" (more coming later)" what imho sums it good up.

Common feedback seems to be that the application should contain the
"Calligra" name to raise awareness / make our brand stronger. I tend to
agree. Suggestion would be that to rename the visible parts to "Calligra
Coffice". Would that be okay or anybody against or...?
Also the name "Coffice" is for sure not set in stones but I can't think
of a better one. If there are suggestions raise please raise them now! :)
