Reviewer: Daniel Carrera
Review method: I tested a preview version of this application. I also copied some info that J. David Eisenberg posted to the list.
Notes: Our tests show that OpenOffice and KOffice have some problems opening each other's OpenDocument files. Also, support for drawings is a bit incomplete.

Comments
KOffice is represented on the OASIS Technical Committee that designed the OpenDocument format by David Faure, who is sponsored to work on KOffice by Trolltech. As such, KOffice played an important role in the creation of this standard.
KOffice is the first application to use OpenDocument natively, even ahead of OpenOffice. In addition, because KOffice is not derived from the OpenOffice codebase, it plays an important role in making OpenDocument an industry standard and not just a single-application format.
Thank you KOffice!
