GNOME Office

GNOME Office is a free office suite for the GNOME desktop. In contrast to projects like OpenOffice.org and KOffice, the integration between the various applications in the suite is rather loose. Therefore, GNOME Office could be considered to be merely the collection of desktop productivity applications written for the GNOME environment rather than an office suite in the usual sense.
As a consequence of this, it is not completely clear which applications are part of GNOME Office. According to the GNOME wiki, GNOME Office consists of the following core applications:
*AbiWord word processor
*Evince document viewer
*Evolution groupware and e-mail application
*Gnumeric spreadsheet
*Inkscape vector graphics editor
*Ease presentation tool (recently initiated project)
However, the Debian project does not include Ease, instead adding the following applications to its gnome-office package :
*GIMP raster graphics editor
*Simple Scan graphical scanner frontend
*Dia diagram editor
*GnuCash accounting software
*Planner project management tool
In some Linux distributions, Simple Scan may not be used and XSane may be used instead.
Finally, there are also two database design tools associated with GNOME Office:
*glom: database designer and user interface similar to FileMaker
*GNOME-DB
