I still have not given up the hope to convince Open-Xchange to merge their changes on ODFDOM [1] back to the Apache main trunk. The editing via operations is implemented, although not yet the ODF changes as we are specifying at OASIS ODF Advanced Document Collaboration SC, but they are mappable.
The main problem to convince them is to monetize the feature of an ODF ecosystem. How much additional money will a company earn, when many Internet applications (e.g. CMS) use ODF? How much is it worth to invest now in ODF? As you know we are currently working in the OASIS ODF SC on an interoperability that is not longer only on ODF document level (exchange by floppy disc), but allowing to dispatch/synch on fine granular change level (diffs via Internet). I will start another marketing campaign for ODF over the next weeks.
