Background

It all began in July 2003, when the leader of this project read an article about Ximian's work on improving OpenOffice.org. The effort to do something similar to Bonobo OOo integration project (dead now) resulted in cuckooo, a KDE Part displaying OpenOffice.org in the Konqueror. Further continuation was the base for the KDE vclplug (former OOo Qt port project).
