What is happening for KOffice2.1

“Tables
Releasing a word processor without tables was pretty daring, and
for 2.1 we did a lot of work to correct this. As part of the GSoC
project we got Elvis Stansvik working on this for the whole summer.
As this is part of KWord, I was the mentor and near the end we also
got help from Casper Boemann. The end result is that KWord can show
a huge set of tables based documents correctly. Its important to
point out that this is ongoing work; creating new table cells or
modifying the shape and look of a table is currently not
possible.

“Change Tracking
While editing a text document you can always undo your changes and
get back to the way your document looked before. But what if you
want to show the actual changes made right inside the current
document? Or even better, being able to see what your colleague
changed in the document over the weekend. This is what change
tracking offers and this has been integrated just last week and it
looks like we’ll have most of the expected features available
in 2.1 thanks to the work of Pierre Stirnweiss. The most exciting
part is that this lays the foundations for projects like
collaborative editing.”
