@Mark& others
I like the idea, don't get me wrong. But sadly it is hard for developers out
there to make just a viewer when some other folks have that :( already. It
would be nice if more people, sed -i 's|people|users|g' out there would use the
OpenDocument format (*.odt) and not pdf to share documents, then the idea would
become more intriguing. This new viewer would have to compete against those
viewers that exist plus Google Docs :(, which I don't know if it* supports
OpenDocument Format (*.odt) files?
Sadly, it is *very difficult* to change people's minds when it comes to
document standards and formats. I agree with folks that mention that Adobe has
become a **bloated monster** that used to be lean and excellent, and with its
increasing bloat there also comes security issues and constant updates :(
My $0.04 (previous $0.02 + this $0.02) don't add sales tax please :)

It does seem that we already have a "usership" 100 million users. If
this is true, then that would in itself make for a good base of users to
create such a piece of software. As we are opensource, there is nothing
wrong with if other folks alread have a viewer. However, the upside, is
that our viewer would come from the makers of the actual pices of
software from which people make the most use of the ODF.
