Well, it's not that we don't care, but as long as we have to work on the OOXML filter, the usability problems in Writer and also some other long outstanding RFEs adding 3rd party bibliography support can't be a high priority. I hope you understand that. I think it's interesting enough to evaluate it and see how it fits into the ODF stuff we have planned to do in the near future. > > So the question is how we can best make this happen given the > resource constraints all around? > > I really don't want to get in the middle of some OOo vs. KOffice > conflict here.

Once we have done the ODF stuff for bibliography and get it implemented into OOo I'm open for starting with the SOAP interface as shown in the Word Add-In. Do you think that it fits into the way we want to describe bibliographic data in ODF?
