A quote from an eWeek article.
IBM Workplace
is YAOD (Yet Another OOo Derivitive). So is EasyOffice.
Can you give evidence for that claim about EasyOffice? The software
bundle is very different from OOo's offering, and the screenshots look
totally different.
I've never heard of Apache Lenya
Because you don't use content management systems very often.
602PC Suite is probably just using OOo's code too.
Speaking from true ignorance. No, 602PC Suite is not based on OOo.
I know that 602PC Suite is planning to support ODF because a member of
the OpenDocument Fellowship talked to them and they said they were
working on it.
Incidentally, I also mentioned TextMaker. They are not based on OOo either.
Over 3 years to get 25% saturation? It's almost worth it. But you yourself,
coder as you are, could create hacked filters for Microsoft Office in those
three-years time, and claim the victory.
I'd take you up on it if we made it this way - if by January 1, 2009, enough
office suites *NATIVELY* support the OpenDocument Format to make up 25% of
the market share - then I'd make the bet.
Let's say that "natively" means that the default install has an option
under "File > Save As" for OpenDocument. *NOT* that it is the default
format (I expect Corel, Abiword and Gnumeric to be in this category).
Also, I didn't say "office suite". If someone uses Abiword and Gnumeric
instead of OOo, I still want to count it. The point is about the
penetration of the format.
Sounds good?
Cheers,
Daniel.
