+KOffice is based on KDE ( http://www.kde.org ) which is needed to run KOffice.
+You need kdelibs and kdebase installed if you want to compile and run
+KOffice. Look in the kdelibs sourcedir for the file COMPILING for help. Also
+look at the website as there are many helpfiles available.
+
+KOffice is a collection of office applications linked together by a common
+basis. This common basis assures that all office application can work
+together. You can, for instance, insert a spreadsheet in your thesis without
+leaving your document. Editing the spreadsheet happens _inside_ your thesis.
+
+The applications currently included in KOffice are:
+- KWord
+  Professional text editing 
+- KSpread
+  Professional number cruncher/spreadsheet
+- KPresenter
+  Professional presentation program
+- KChart
+  Graphing of your abstract data
+- Karbon
+  Vector graphics tool
+- Kugar
+  Database report creation
+- Kivio
+  Flowcharting program
+- Kexi
+  Integrated data management
+- Krita
+  A pixel graphics tool
+- KFormula
+  A mathematical formula editor
+- KOffice Workspace
+  A combination of all of the above
+
+Note: these applications are not necessarily part of the previous or next
+official stable version of KOffice.
+
+Developers:
+===========
+
+KOffice is created by Open Source programmers around the world. All developers
+give their time/code to the community for everyone to benefit. The major reason
+this is done is because those developers want to have a good office suite, and
+they don't mind sharing it with you.
+
+If you feel you found a bug or missing feature you can always contact the
+developers of KOffice (via http://www.koffice.org ) or delve into the software
+yourself.
+
+The part that is shared between all KOffice applications can be found in the lib
+directory. There classes like KoDocument can be found; these classes are
+extended in the project directories.
+
+Read the .h files in the respective directories for more info.
+
+
+Document format:
+================
+
+Nearly all KOffice applications use XML formatted files in a ZIP file.
+
+The main document in XML format can be read with a text editor (after having
+unzip-ped it from the ZIP file.) XML itself is simply a set of tags,
+where the application can define the meaning of these tags. The definition of
+the document type is therefore different for each KOffice application (as you
+will most likely not find a curved line in a KWord document). The Document Type
+Definition can be found in every application's source directory in the
+directory '(application)/dtd.'
+
+If you would like more information about the makeup of the actual KOffice 
+document structure (not the XML DTD), see the lib/store/SPEC file.
+
+If you want to see more/fix bugs in this file, feel free to ask or add it 
+yourself.
