Now M$ is planning to only make that available in a "premium" version of office. This will reduce the usefulness of XML Office format as an document exchange format. For POI there won't be a vision for such things. We need to keep our scope tight given the number of qualified and willing folks is much smaller than for most other projects (only really special people tend to like going through hex dumps)... I have something else in mind. I'd like to see a top level Apache project dedicated to data transfer formats (not necessarily XML). We could tackle common APIs for various file formats. The POI community of course would be the founding members, but as time moves on I can see other projects joining this new top-level project under a common PMC. -Andy > By the way, thanks for all the job done, > and for POI in general ! > > > > > > "Andrew C. > Oliver" Pour : POI Users List > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] cc : (ccc : Alexis > BOHN/TECHNOLOGIE/GROUPE_OPEN) > che.org> Objet : Re: POI => HDF format > > 09/07/2003 > 16:38 > Veuillez > r�pondre � > "POI Users > List" > > > > > > > > Its undergoing rewrite.
