Hi Mathias,

I think the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" project at least in its current state is still
bound to OOo as it is the central building block. As long as this is not
becoming a subject to change it makes a lot of sense to keep it in the
OOo project. But YMMV.
it is currently bound to the OOo suite, as the suite is used to actually
do all editing etc., though this is not necessarily the case, e.g. it
could use AbiWord or any other application capable of dealing with ODF
and WebDAV. It is bound to the OOo site, as I am bound to the OOo site
and as long as people think that it is a valuable addition :-)
I know it may sound ?foolhardy?, but I think that we may need to extend
the scope of the OOo site somewhat, to be able to stay competitive in
the market and in the Open Source movement.
If you remember our mission statement,
"To create, as a community, the leading international office suite that
will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality
and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format."
you see, that our defined goal basically only is about developing a
classical desktop application. As the world moves forward, we can see
that the WWW and HTML (and is flavors) as well as Ajax etc. are becoming
more and more important. In my little world this threatens ODF and OOo
and any other "classical" document format and application suite. Luckily
we have the chance to integrate into the WWW world, as OOo already
supports WebDAV etc. and as ODF is quite expressive, though there are
some (glue) pieces left ... namely something on the server, e.g. the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] :-)
Ciao,
Mathias
