Yep - so - my hope would be that around June we will have 3x interns<br>
inside SUSE one of whom may be interested in working on this - indeed we<br>
could sketch that out.<br>

there is no problem in collaborating around file-formats and the<br>
specification thereof etc.<br>
Clearly a major focus of what we do needs to be round-trip<br>
interoperability - so we can load/save these to MS formats with no data<br>
loss.<br>

Sounds reasonable.<br>

<br>
I don't actually care where the spec. is developed / discussed.<br>

<br>
As for the UI design - then, yes - it would be great to a) get the<br>
results of the Calligra thoughts already - hopefully they've done a good<br>
compatibility analysis; and b) to get a UI design to see this integrated<br>
into LibreOffice nicely.<br>
<br>
So - yes, it's certainly worth putting some effort into this - Kendy -<br>
do you think we could persuade one intern to work on this ?<br>
<br>
Thoughts ?<br>

Thanks for the update. Yes, round-trip with MSOOXML is one<br>
requirement, though backward compatibility with ODF 1.2 or older (and<br>
thus, DOC) is important too, and can be achieved by by copying theme<br>
items into actual styles.<br>
<br>
As for the schedule, there's nothing precise because the feature while<br>
important ... it's absence does not stop users from actually being<br>
productive.<br>
