Symphony Thursday: Team Blog on Document Interoperability
,----[ Quote ]
| The move of Lotus Symphony to the OpenOffice.org 3 code base, and more
| importantly, having Lotus Symphony based on the current OpenOffice.org code
| trunk going forward, is the first step. We will see more pressure for full
| ODF and OOXML support, not the current OpenOffice.org implementation of ODF
| or the Office 2007 file formats, over the next 12 to 18 months. We as
| consumers of these products must demand full support of the file format - not
| the custom implementations out there today.

The 21st ODF Toolkit Scenario
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in 2006 I gave a short in talk at a KDE conference in Dublin on the
| topic of "A Standard ODF Object Model", essentially laying out my thoughts on
| why we needed an "ODF Toolkit". As part of that presentation I listed "20
| Prototypical App Dev Scenarios", my attempt to enumerate all the fundamental
| patterns of use for ODF. I did a blog post on this list later that year.
