Update from the ODF TC

[Jos van den Oever]

Hello Calligra-ers,

As you may or may not know, I represent KDE in the committee that specifies the 
OpenDocument Format. We have a weekly telephone call for the core TC in which 
I and Thorsten Zachmann participate. In addition there is a weekly call for 
the work group on change tracking and a biweekly call on interoperablility.

This is the overview page:
  http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/office/
Apart from telephone discussions topics are discussed on the mailing lists
  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/
Proposals for the specification are recorded and discussed here:
  http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE

ODF 1.2 is mostly done and will become a standard in the near future. This 
means we want people to suggest new ideas, improvements and enhancements to 
put in the next ODF standard. If there are things you would like to see 
changed in ODF now is the time to speak up. As TC contact, Thorsten and I can 
put your proposals in the 'specification changes' system, but everyone can also 
mail the public list:
  http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/

I would like first to let people in Calligra brainstorm about what is feasible 
and desirable. Ideas can be put as a reply to this mail. Changes do not have 
to be features, they can also be clarifications or simplifications.

Best regards,
Jos
