 Cymrux - Linux yn Gymraeg
KOffice (http://www.koffice.org) is a full-featured office suite for the Linux desktop, and will be available for free with most Linux distributions, including the next version of Cymrux, the Linux-in-Welsh CD (http://www.cymrux.org.uk).
Linux is especially good for languages such as Welsh, which have been ignored in the past by large software makers, because it allows the user to switch back and forth between several languages, and there is no need to install special add-in programs to handle accent marks like the "to bach" (^).
Kywaith Kyfieithu (http://www.kyfieithu.co.uk) is a group of volunteers throughout Wales, whose aim is to increase the use of Welsh on computers.

 KDE Wiki - Compiling KOffice Step by Step
If you want to help with KOffice it is essential that you work with a recent version of the software.
If you want to help testing the software and working on bug reports you really need the latest release, which means that you will have to compile from CVS or from a fairly recent snapshot.
For the development version of KOffice you need QT 3.3.x.

 NewsForge KOffice 1.1RC1 released today
Besides the valuable and excellent efforts by the KOffice developers themselves, significant support for KOffice development has been provided by MandrakeSoft (which sponsors KOffice developers David Faure and Laurent Montel), theKompany.com (which contributed Kivio and Kugar to KOffice), and Klarälvdalens Datakonsult AB (which contributed the new KChart to KOffice).
KOffice 1.1rc1 will not work with versions of Qt older than 2.2.4 or versions of kdelibs older than 2.1.1.
The primary goals of this release are to provide a preview of KOffice 1.1 and to involve users and developers who wish to request/implement missing features or identify problems.

 KOffice falls short of Microsoft Office standard - TechUpdate - ZDNet
KOffice is an integrated office suite designed to run on the K Desktop Environment under X Window System.
For that reason, while KOffice 1.1 represents a significant step in the right direction for the future of Linux, its usability in corporate or other environments with serious information-processing needs is, at best, problematic.
As Microsoft Office is the standard for office productivity software, we compared the feature sets of KOffice components to their Microsoft counterparts.

In combination with the other KOffice parts, it is the suite's contribution to "powerful presentations" (which presumably exist because the phrase is so frequently used, but which like the Loch Ness monster cannot be relied upon).
It currently writes only its own file format, though filters for exchange with other presentation applications are in the works, and it will read some PowerPoint files.

All you have to do to turn this example into a real full-featured KOffice document is to rewrite three functions: ExamplePart::loadXML(), ExamplePart::saveXML() and ExamplePart::paintContent(), which will respectively load your document data from an XML file, save your document data into a XML file and paint your document's content.
If you want to start a new KOffice application, the main thing you have to do is to create a new class that inherits from KoDocument.

 KOffice Makes Gains but Lags Behind Other Options
Despite KOffice's improvements—including several important bug fixes—the suite is still no match for Sun Microsystems Inc.'s StarOffice or OpenOffice.org's OpenOffice 1.0 in the enterprise computing space.
KOffice 1.3 makes notable improvements over previous versions, but enterprises considering the suite as a Microsoft Corp. Office alternative should look at more-capable proprietary software, such as Evermore Integrated Office, or other open-source offerings.
