Because a) I don't know who Horst Knorr is, b) I'm the education lead for the OO.o project so I have some loyalty to it, c) The grant was for the purpose of a feasibility study not for general development, d) I know its going to be easier to get most schools I deal with to use OO.o with a simple and easy database on Windows than it is to get them to use the KDE desktop. e) I do have quite a few using the KDE desktop so I can use one solution to satisfy both sets of needs.
Please can you try to make sure that the OO.o developers are aware of knoda and consider porting/integration with OO.o? Does anyone know if that has been suggested? It may not be viable, but if it can be used, that would probably be a very good thing. As you say, resources are quite limited at the moment, so shouldn't be wasted because of ignorance or an attack of Not Invented Here. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ gopher://g.towers.org.uk/ slef@jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/
