A comment at the Calligra Words blog-entry asked about re-adding the CTRL+M "Hide Menubar" option back to Calligra Words (and the KDEPim-applications).

That is a *very* bad idea.

Some like to make a joke of OpenOffice.org coming with around 8 different string-implementations and comparing that with what we are having in Calligra with QString. But when we worked back then in OASIS to form what later became the ISO OpenDocument standard we left such implementation details out.

As Andreas note we are rather close towards Calligra 2.4 which will be the very first release of the Calligra Suite.

Our pretty cool Calligra Quality Dashboard lists 11 remaining release-critical blocker bugs that still need to be fixed till then.

Since so far I missed any blog on our beloved planet pointing to this interesting resource I do it myself now;

A rather cute way to escape your Windows Phone lock in :-)

Today is the second and last day of the Calligra Words mini-sprint. After spending yesterdays first day on planing and implementation of decisions made we spent today on solving all kind of problems that showed up since then.

In particular today we land;
* Fix wrong placement of anchored object if the object is anchored in a paragraph that spans two pages, and the anchor is in the part of the paragraph that is on the first page.
* Be sure to only try position an anchor once per layout-run.
* Implement anchor stacking.

Actually it's day #2 already since Boemann and myself already started hacking away yesterday evening when I arrived at his place in Denmark.

The main goal of our small mini-sprint is to address the various problems we have within Calligra Words with anchors and anchoring objects and text running around such anchored objects.

When I upgraded my KDE-setup to 4.7.0 I run into the problem that when starting the brand new KMail based upon Akonadi that the Nepomuk-feeder started to index my imap-folders.

After a long time of bugfixing, adding missing features and improving Calligra in general the progress made on Calligra Words finally reached bronze status.

End of last week the work done on the new textlayout-library got merged into the master-branch. Months of hard work on refactoring the basement Words, Stage and other Calligra applications are build up on got a face. While there still stays enough work we got beyond the mountain and are enjoying the fruits this brings us today and tomorrow.

This fruits, from the pov as developer and user of Words, are;
