Does the End of KOffice Mean the End of KDE?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yeah-that'll-happen dept.

jfruhlinger writes "Venerable Linux office suite KOffice has been reborn as "Calligra," a name meant to evoke calligraphy but perhaps a bit too close to the neme of a deranged Roman emperor. Perhaps more importantly, Calligra seems to be cooperating with the future MeeGo mobile Linux distro. Could this be the beginning of the end of the KDE desktop, at least under its current branding?"

    In my distro, gentoo, things are handled in a component manner. I can choose to use whatever I want with whatever apart from branding etc, as long as no conflicts exist.
