Yes.  It's been going on since at least 2006, at least in regards to
ODF.  Other areas might have had problems longer.

In principle, Wikipedia is a good idea, but it doesn't have any apparent
mechanism to deal with the kind of abuse from political groups as we are
seeing.  It's a little bit analagous to the pre-commercial days of the
Internet where those with access were there to help build and contribute
rather than mess things up on purpose.
