Reception
Initial reception of Calligra Words shortly after the 2.4 release was mixed. While Linux Pro Magazine Online's Bruce Byfield wrote, “Calligra needed an impressive first release. Perhaps surprisingly, and to the development team’s credit, it has managed one in 2.4.,” he also noted that “words in particular is still lacking features”. He concluded that Calligra is “worth keeping an eye on”.[4]
