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.
