Officeshots: making ODF truly interoperable
,----[ Quote ]
| Complex file formats, such as those used
| for office documents, inevitably lead to
| differences in interpretation by
| application developers. If a user sends a
| document to someone else who views it in a
| different application or version, chances
| are that the output shows some subtle
| differences or, by bad luck, that the
| formatting is completely munged. For people
| that give presentations regularly, this is
| a constant nightmare: they have to hope
| that the office application on the
| conference laptop is able to show the
| presentation without mangling the slides.
| These problems are not tied to proprietary
| file formats: open standards such as ODF
| (Open Document Format) also have
| interoperability issues.

No shocker: Google prefers HTML5 to Gears
,----[ Quote ]
| Word from the LA Times is that Google plans
| to phase out its Gears plug-in in favor of
| HTML5 when it comes to augmenting browser
| abilities. The precise details of its
| enthusiasm for the plug-in aren't clear
| yet, but the general trajectory is no
| surprise.

The Parliament said: ODF only
,----[ Quote ]
| Today the Danish Parliament said ODF only for
| public administration. The Minister of Science
| doesn't agree, so he will ask the Minister of
| Finance for advice. The Government is afraid
| that the decision will be too expensive.
