Hey Todd,

thanks for asking since this is indeed a bit confusing and its easy to assume 
the worst. Thank you for showing an interest and ask. Its obvious from your 
question that you care about the future of this software. That makes me happy.

The renaming is essentially the same topic as the one you copied above, in 
other words, the arbitration process will give us an outcome of who can 
continue with the name koffice.

It is true that initially the suggestion was made to rename both groups, 
however I was not asked for my input on that matter and as such the mails 
claiming group A would be renamed was a bit premature.
It is my wish to keep working on KOffice as I've been doing since I joined in 
2000.
