I do hope it'll be in OOo by default, though.

CPH,

It is good news that Smart Tags seem to be progressing as I view the 
smart 
tags as one of the essential elements that will make for possible for the new 
new bibliographic facility to built as a Extension Project. This seems to be 
the general view as the Bibliographic Project is now listed under 'Extension 
Projects' on the projects web page 
( http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html ).

Using Smart Tags will make it possible for developers using the Extension 
Toolkit to define new tags  in the document, or use existing tags in new 
ways, and add plug-in extension code to handle those tags, with the specific 
context and system menus. 
( http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Extensions )

This method will greatly aid our project because our developers will not need 
to learn how to make changes to the huge and complex OpenOffice code base, 
but will be able to work with the much simpler Extension Toolkit in C++, 
python or java. This is a skill set that should be much easier to recruit. 


regards

Yeah, maybe. A few months ago I talked to the guys who were working on 
this about our work and the metadata stuff going on at the ODF TC. 
Hopefully it'll all come together.
