KPresenter Review and Mockup

There are many, many bad presentations out there. Really bad presentations. Presentations that bore, presentations that confuse but more importantly, presentations that simply fail to function as a communication medium. But it's not always the presenter's fault, quite often it's just because they've just never learnt how to properly organise a presentation and they aren't able to recognise their mistakes. Other times it's because they've only ever seen other bad examples of presentations. To most people many of theseproblems are obvious, others are extremely subtle but all of them were of course allowed and often encouraged by mainstream presentation software. I've attempted to prevent or reduce some of these common problems by re-organising several aspects of the typical presentation software interface.

I have nothing to do with the KOffice project (although I would like to in the future), and I don't pretend that herin lies The Answer. I would however like to throw this into the public and see if it can be improved on and eventually implemented in an extremely usable presentation software package. I have far more confidence in the combined skills of the KDE community and the rest of the world, than I do of my own creativity and problem solving.
