once again I am going hoping you guys to please reply to the questions I placed before, here it is again.
- how does it affect you specifically (being an advanced user / someone in the know / a professional in a related field). - how does OOXML affect the typical computer user (your average Jose and Maria). - what is its relevance to your industry, if any - what would've been the proper procedure in choosing an open standard - how important is an open standard - add anything else you feel will help our cause Please provide your name and relevant info about you (ie the kind of work you do, position, etc., that'd give weight to your opinion, even if you are just a 'concerned citizen' would do) The point of this exercise is to collate your answers so that I can put them all on the website. From this, I can summarize a PLUG Official Opinion. You need to stand by your opinion, so choose your words wisely. In fact, if you don't wanna follow those questions and make your own statement, then by all means do so! Just send it either directly to me or this list, so it can be counted. I hope to receive it soon. Many thanks and good luck to all of us. Gary Please ignore this if you've already submitted.
