    Subject: Re: [office] Extensions and MIME types


    Hi all,
    
    there seem to be at least two sub topics that need to be discussed in 
    our TC:
    
    a) Do we want to specify/recommend file name extensions, and if so, the 
    ones OpenOffice.org suggests?
    b) There seem to exists some more document types than the ones where we 
    currently specify MIME types for (namely formulas, master documents and 
    web documents). Do we want to add them?
    
    Maybe Gary has some mor sub topics to discuss.
    
    Best regards
    
    Michael
