Port Calligra Gemini to SailfishOS as native office suite

Calligra is a great Free Softwire KDE/Qt-based office suite. In fact it was the base for the Documents app in the Nokia N9 (and Jolla I imagine).

The recent news item (including awesome videos!) reveals that Calligra Gemini is now part of the official Calligra suite – this goes perfectly with the recently announced Jolla Tablet, since the whole point of Calligra Gemini is that the office suite has a responsive UI – that means that on the fly it changes e.g.:

  • into the full desktop create mode, if it detects the screen is big enough and there is a keyboard (& mouse) present;
  • into the touch-optimised edit mode, if it detects it the device offers only a touch-screen;
  • into the full-screen no-nonsense view mode, if asked so.

Having such a thing on the Jolla Tablet would be a brilliant thing and the code is already there (although for now still Qt4-based) – please make this happen.

This also solves a previous question about having a native spreadsheet app.
