First of all, let me say that I'm against embedding other apps at all. But if it will be done, KOffice is the most logical choice (certainly more than Scribus, GIMP, or OpenOffice). You obviously don't understand the amount of differences between KOffice and OpenOffice. That's OK. To make things clear: The name "KOffice" is really bad, because it doesn't reflect what it can actually do. KOffice isn't even an application or a set of applications. It's foremost a set of frameworks (called "Flakes"). KPresenter and the other apps are mostly mere launchers for those frameworks. No one has to actually clutter his/her K-Menu with more app icons. The main set of KOffice frameworks is ~10MB in size. While not great to require 10MB more, it's far less than Scribus' ~30MB -- and that's only for a beefed up text editor. If Jean-Michel chooses to improve the text editor in Kdenlive by embedding some KOffice components (probably the ones used by KPresenter), other KOffice components can be used elsewhere without additional dependencies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
