I am agree with you; I thought to this problem because in the industrial classic workflow , the development of the software starts from the requirements document, typically written in Microsoft Office Editor or Open Office Editor. In the boundaries of an accademic collaboration from my University and your Society, is possible use your software? Is interesting for you to introduce the import from a existing document?
