FOSDEM 2005: KOffice Interview (KDE.News)

KDE.News interviews Raphael Langerhorst, who will be giving a talk at FOSDEM on "KOffice - Desktop Integration and Workflow Automation". "A big advantage of KOffice is its KDE base, which makes it more lightweight and integrated. OOo brings its own framework which makes the codebase bigger and harder to maintain, but it is necessary to be cross platform. And this is what makes OOo more suitable in mixed environments - OOo builds the bridge between Windows and Linux/Unix whereas KOffice might be a better choice in pure KDE environments. OOo is also a suitable bridge between many legacy file formats and the OASIS Open Document format."
