Wow! Looks great to me!

I guess, the product names of the different ODF implementations should be
added to the keyword list as well because reports about large OpenOffice.org
deployments or new releases of KOffice are relevant to the larger ODF
community as well, even if the blog entries don't mention ODF or OpenDocument
explicitly.
