Hi :) Don't worry about e-letter's comments! If the proposals are about the formats then it might be worth mentioning that all different programs seem to have no trouble implementing ODF as written-up in the ISO spec but almost everyone, even MS seem to have trouble implementing OOXML consistently. Hence why people have trouble sharing files, because most people are using MS stuff that seems to have different 'accidents' implementing their own format each time (hence 'accidentally' forcing people to buy the newer and newer versions)
It's good that we are focussing on the formats for once! I don't think e-letter was expecting that! :) Regards from Tom :) On 23 February 2014 13:10, alexanderW <[email protected]> wrote: > The proposal is only about using ODF, HTML, CSV and TXT as file formats. > It doesn't mention which software would be used, so I don't see how your > comment is relevant. > > Am 23.02.2014 13:49, schrieb nabbler [via Document Foundation Mail Archive]: >> On 23/02/2014, Alexander Wilms <[hidden email] >> </user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=4098644&i=0>> wrote: >> > Hi everyone, >> > >> > I already posted this on the LibreOffice Google+ and Facebook pages, >> but >> > there are probably quite a few people subscibed to this list who are >> not >> > following either one. >> > >> >> Despite the self-generated hype, not every Tom, Dick and Harriet are >> interested in these social data-collation (sorry "media") tools. >> >> > The UK government plans to move to open standards like ODF and HTML and >> > apparently Microsoft didn't know that people can voice their >> opinions on >> > the proposal since January and started to spread some FUD once again a >> > few days ago. >> > >> > If you think that truly open standards are a better solution than >> OOXML, >> > then it'd be beneficial if you registered on the standards.data.gov.uk >> > page and commented.
