The current KOffice 1. 6. x series is designed for Unix, but the upcoming 2. 0 release (expected in late 2008[3]) is expected to add compatibility for Mac OS X[4] and Windows[5]. In addition KOffice is undergoing a large overhaul to use Flake and Pigment as much as possible within applications. Flake is a new Programming library that will be used in the upcoming KOffice 2 series KOffice developers plan to share as much infrastructure as possible between applications to reduce bugs and improve the user experience[6]. They also want to create an OpenDocument library for use in other KDE applications that will allow developers to easily add support for reading and outputting OpenDocument files to their applications[7]. Automating tasks and extending the suite with custom functionality can be done with dbus or with scripting language like Python, Ruby and JavaScript[8].
