A __very__ good idea... IMO we need to promote GNOME Office as a
_package_ a lot more!

sweet... maybe I should talk to him about this as well, before I run
into an halfass attempt to implement it myself...

One addition: All future commits introducing new functions should contain doxygen documentation for those functions. This would greatly help the other developers understanding the code... also you can do nice things like "\bug foo" comments so known bugs in the function(s) as documented as well... Our doxygen documentation is updated daily, and can be found at: http://www.abisource.com/doxygen/
