Re: [office] Proposal for Advanced Document Collaboration Subcommittee

[robert_weir@us.ibm.com]

Certainly, I would be jumping the gun if I stopped working on ODF 1.2 and 
started working on ODF-Next.  But we do have some new members, just 
joining now, who are not working on ODF 1.2, and are interested in getting 
a head-start on the changing tracking proposal.

And note, we created the Metadata SC and the Formula SC when we were only 
half-way through the ODF 1.1 work.  At that time as well, it was a way of 
taking advantage of the enthusiasm of new participants (like David 
Wheeler) while the rest of us finished up ODF 1.1 work, a release mainly 
focused on accessibility.

So I think there is some precedent for this.

But I certainly wouldn't want to presume to speak for the TC on what the 
contents of ODF-Next should be, at least not at this point.  But does 
anyone have any doubt whether change tracking should be a priority?
