	Sounds sensible to me =) of course, the ball-parks are very often done 
quite quickly finger-in-the-air things not a hard and fast rule - 
estimation can be expensive.


	I'd suggest just including Regina's ODF bits into the spec. seeing what 
comes out of the tender price-wise; I particularly like your text Regina 
about not having to block on the ODF TC. That could prolly be helpfully 
tweaked to require only a single "reasonable" implementation of this for 
the ODF filter.


ATB,

Michael.

Hi Regina,

Thanks for the input.

The original idea has a cost estimate of 1.5 weeks [1]. Do you know how 
much would it take to extend it to ODF ?


No idea. I do coding for LibreOffice and working in the OASIS TC as 
hobby. I don't look at how long something takes.


I thought, ODF is the basic file format for LibreOffice. So I expect, 
that writing in 'ODF extended' format is included in the tender anyway. 
But it might not be clear to all bidders.


Miklos has already cooperated with the ODF TC when implementing 
"Gutter". Perhaps he can tell how large is the additional effort. For an 
implementer it is much easier to write down the needed info for the 
OASIS TC than for someone else.


If writing in 'ODF extended' format was originally not intended, that 
would need a principle discussion in the board about supporting ODF.


Kind regards,
Regina

Hi Xisco,

I want to avoid that the implementation is done in a way that the new 
element only works with OOXML documents. This would be the case, for 
example, if the implementation only works when an "InteropGrabBag" is 
used. Therefore I suggest to include the ODF format explicitly in the 
call text. For example something like this:


The implementation of a "STYLEREF field" has to include saving and 
loading the information in ODF-format.
ODF has currently no way to represent the information as given by a 
STYLEREF field in OOXML 17.16.5.59. Therefore it belongs to the task 
to help to extend the ODF standard so that Steps 1. to 6. in 
https://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/ProposalTemplate%20ODF%201.4 are 
finished.
In case the ODF TC does not respond as quickly to individual steps as 
the implementation progresses, at least all parts of these steps that 
are also possible without the ODF TC must be performed. This includes, 
in particular, the designation of a contact person, the completion of 
the template given on the above mentioned Wiki website as far as 
possible, and the provision of a test document in ODF format.


Kind regards,
Regina
