Have you checked this before you started this new plug-in or is this a gut feeling? I'm asking because I remember looking at both formats and thinking that they probably just needed a few fixes here and there ... But I must admit that's as far as I took it. Perhaps Ross has done some more work on this? > Further like you pointed out the OASIS Open Document Format is a > higher level standard and *not* directly related to OOo (it just happens > that they use it as default format). Let me make it clear that I'm all in favor of naming a potential unified plug-in after the open standard (as you did). My point is that we should not have two different plug-ins for openOffice and odt since (if) they are so similar. > Like I already stated (a standard is way different then an application): > OpenDocument (odt) != openOffice No doubt about that. Sorry for being imprecise here. > If you have this itch feel free to scratch it. I don't think this how it should work. I was commenting on my impression that we are _perhaps_ re-inventing wheels by developing and debugging a new plug-in for a very similar format. And I remembered all the work that Ross and others have already invested in improving the old plug-in. Doesn't seem to make sense to repeat all that, does it? -- Ferdinand Soethe
