+1 I would offer another idea also (as addition to and separate from, I believe) this user extensible FAQ, ODF support for MSO users. - there is a lot of effort in helping LibO users that need to exchange documents with MSO users. What to do with a .doc(x) you receive and how to generate .doc(x) [et al 'x' formats]. What I really think would be worth doing is a special page for MSO users that are confronted with interacting with LbreOffice users. So - You received a .odt, How do you work with that in MSO. You are a MSO user and need to generate a document for a Danish agency and need ODF compliance - What are your options. If we did that right it would be a huge promotional, there are people that will be needing to do this, now and more as time goes on - offer a respectful and helpful service for these folks, so they can do their job efficiently and I am quite certain it would nurture a large number of individuals more open to looking at LibreOffice in particular and I believe, FOSS in general for their personal and perhaps business use. -- anyway, just something I've mulled over from time to time and my contribution to the crazy idea list perhaps :-) Drew -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Archive: http://www.documentfoundation.org/lists/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
