This is covered in the instructions here: "If you are not familiar with XML, please submit the equivalent information in a post to the ooo-dev list and we can help you format it for submission. But your listing will appear faster if it is submitted in the proper form." Reference: http://www.openoffice.org/bizdev/consultant-submission.html A form with Javascript to form the XML might be useful sometime, but it is possible that the XML schema might change based on feedback we receive during this initial phase of submissions. So it might be better to wait. -Rob > > > Greetings, > Jörg >
