Rita,
Committee members are asking how they can promote your First Take. We
acknowledge that "Reproduction and distribution of this publication in
any form without prior written permission is forbidden," and we
certainly want to respect that. Can we link to the pdf from the OASIS
site and/or members' sites? Are there any other permissible ways we can
raise awareness of the report?
Thanks,
Carol

Rita,
You have sharp eyes. Before joining Sun, Lauren was an individual member
of OASIS, but she did not represent Textuality. As I mentioned,
Textuality was never a member of OASIS.

If possible, you may also want to include Koffice in the list of
applications that support OpenDocument.

You probably heard this from Sun, but they feel your reference to "Sun's
OpenOffice.org" is misleading. According to Sun, "OpenOffice was funded
by Sun, and Sun is still the main code contributor, but it is not
*Sun's* OpenOffice.org. In addition, the '.org' at the end of
OpenOffice.org should not be left out."

Minor points, of course. Needless to say, members of the OASIS
OpenDocument Committees are very excited to see your report. Thanks so
much for covering this.

Carol

Hi -- note was published yesterday. I'll get correction to it, if
necessary. Wasn't Lauren Wood (textuality) working on ODF with oasis? Or
are those stray articles I'm picking up. I did search on web and had
throught at least Lauren , it not Tim, was involved. 

Pls let me know. 

thanks

Sorry, I was flying back from San Francisco and just got your message on
this. Textuality was never a member of OASIS, nor was Tim before joining
Sun. I'm not sure what his OpenOffice participation was or is.

Quick question. I see you added that Intel and Novell in effort. 

Was textuality NOT in effort? I'm pretty sure Tim Bray was involved,
yes? Pls confirm, reply all. Thanks

Jo,
Thanks so much for the opportunity to review this. Our edits are marked
in the attached (proprietary format!) file. :)

We felt you might want to emphasize the option of using plug-ins for
MS-Office import/export of ODF as well as the fact that future
applications can use ODF with XFORMS and XML schemas in forms processing
applications.

Best regards,
Carol
