That's a far more complicated question than it first appears... It is not quite 
clear yet whether there will be an alternative successor to KOffice and if so, 
what it will be called (not all the contributors are pursuing Calligra, 
although most are).

From a promo perspective, my call would be that we know that Calligra is going 
forward as a strong productivity suite with similar scope to what was KOffice 
and therefore Calligra should be promoted in the booklet. Probably a replace-
text KOffice->Calligra is ok. We do not yet know whether there will also be an 
alternative suite or what it will be called. Therefore, go with what we know 
(Calligra) and if there are further developments we will have to decide 
whether to include those later.

I know that sucks a little. My feeling (and this is just my personal opinion) 
is that following the above will work out ok.

Yep, in this context we don't need to prefix everything with 'KDE'

Dunno :-) it was probably a 'for KDE' at some point, but that makes no sense 
either. Drop it.

Sure. I would suggest that when everything else is ready, we do a review of 
all the screenshots and update any as appropriate (keeping the same content 
and dimensions so they are drop-in replacements). Does that make sense? I'm no 
desktop publishing ninja

Where can we help with this - editing the Google doc?

Ok :-)
