Hello,

just an idea to enhance OO.o functionality:
Working on a company that's running lot of Microsoft stuff (Office as std, 
also Visio and Project for selected users), I think there is an 
opportunity for OO.o to be used as a replacement not only for Office, but 
also to eliminate the need for Visio and Project readers.
It is a nuisance in the IT dept when a user gets MS Visio or Project and 
starts sending files on those formats to other users who don't have these 
programs installed. In that sense it is a blessing for example that OO.o 
Draw can read DXF (AutoCad export) files.
I have read there is a project to create a Visio importer for Draw in 
Google's summer of code.
I would propose also to create a Project importer for Calc. Please note 
you don't need to import everything, just the list of tasks with dates, 
and maybe generate a Gantt chart. Most Project users don't go farther than 
that.

Thank you and best regards,
Ignacio GarcĂ­a del Valle
