OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC

  • 1.  xml as a file format?

    Posted 08-08-2007 17:26 
    I've just been very surprised to learn that Open Office can't open
an xml file, valid to the ODF schema.
It seems to me unreasonable to require a null XSLT input filter
to achieve this. My thanks To JD Eisenberg for showing me the filter

Feature request, that this format be added to the input requirement.


I.e. any conformant app be required to open a single XML file,
valid to the schema.

    Do you have an example of such a file?

I would be interested in looking.

  • 4.  Adobe MAX 2007

    I have a quick question ( not directly ODF related).

At the 2007 Adobe MAX show we are organizing some Birds of a Feather
sessions.  Since there are a few people going who are know to be interested
in ODF, I have contemplated offering to host an ODF BOF session to discuss
ODF-PDF processes.

I wanted to quickly ask if anyone on this list is going and if so, if they
have interest in setting up a meeting.  It is in Chicago Sept 30-Oct 4.

I think you should report that to the OOo bugtracker, this certainly is 
not the best place to report this.

Note that KOffice can open such files just fine.

I'm not sure that requiring such a thing in ODF is the place to solve this 
issue.
