Hi Cassio, yes, I think both of these sound interesting. In particular, the OO.o plugin that would be for all OO.o would be brilliant. I think of major importance is how to specifically add this support to OO.o. I think there is the plug-in level support and also seeing how a contribution could be added to OO.o so that it ships as default in OO.o. Anyhow, I'm cc'ing OO.o's community manager, who can comment on this add-in some more and hopefully help you shape your application. Louis, we are taking the approach this year to add CC support to key applications in FLOSS.
