--- Comment #4 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <[email protected]> --- We don't allow open/libre office formats on commons at the moment. Problems with this: *Commons doesn't allow office formats, free or otherwise [Primary problem. Part of this is historical with security issues in zip based formats, but nonetheless the politics of allowing this type of format needs to be sorted out] *Conversion programs aren't perfect [unless things have been improved significantly]. Its one thing to tell a user to convert and they do it imperfectly, when we do conversions wrong, people yell at us. As for conversion programs, there are command line converters to (wvConvert and stuff). I'd personally be opposed to depending on a third party, ---- This should possibly be moved to an extension requests. I am almost certain we won't be doing office format conversions in core. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
