Exactly. Project Management is in that sense a Mozilla task, not an OOo task, because it is much closer to eMail than it is to Writer, Calc or Impress. In fact, if OOo would do serious workflow functionality, that would change things. But workflow management should actually be an independent project after all. > For word-processing and DTP I think OOo has an opportunity to do the > right thing, which is become a universal XML editing processor.

Now go and apply styles that not only enforce (warn for > violations) of data rules (manifested in XML Schemas, etc.) I think what you elaborate on here is kind of what i'm imagining...and yes, takes it further. I'm happy if we'd get the style thing done consequently. ;-) > I understand it is hard to successfully invent things (may be I'm too > much a developer) and also risky > (http://conficio.blogspot.com/2006/07/striving-for-total-innovation-is-bad.html > - shameless plug for my blog) but for marketing purposes thinking > outside of the box is better than continuing debates over word > processing vs. DTP (and ending up agreeing, that they both have their > place ;-) Hei, hei, I'm not agreeing on that. ;-) André. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
