Krita/KOffice Preview Version and Video Available

xiando writes "Developers aim at making Krita a user-friendly image manipulation program where users with no computer experience or slim experience with other light-duty image programs like Paint Shop Pro should feel right at home. LinuxReviews has a 5.5 MB preview video by developer Bart Coppens available, showing how the app looks and feels. Check it out or download the source preview packages by Daniel Molkentin to try it yourself. Developers hope to make Krita a part of the KDE office suite KOffice 1.4, scheduled spring 2005."

"Krita" is also the Swedish name for the Cretaceous period. It's also Swedish slang for "credit" (debt).

Obsolete software for people with debts? ;)
