Hello Ian, I'm very surprized to learn that this consortium has been founded by the OASIS consortium? (see: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/applications/0,39020384,39228251,00.htm) Is this true? Because I think that it's important to stress that this Fellowship is a purely private initiative, such as spreadopendocument.org, or friendsofopendocument.org . In this regard, it is right to explain to the public that if they wish to donate to this consortium, it will be a donation to a private group, not to, for instance, the OpenOffice.org's project, for instance. If somebody wishes to donate to OpenOffice.org, the office suite and the FLOSS project behind Open Document, this page: http://contributing.openoffice.org/donate.html is the right place to go to.
Best, Charles.
