http://www.robweir.com/blog/2007/10/odf-enters-semantic-web.html
The blog post could be used as a basis for something about meta-data.

We need an editor and need writers.

Don will work on accessibility related content.
Don will ask Rob regarding formula.



ODF Interop Plan
================
Peter Vandenabeele was instrumental in providing the test documents
for the ODF Camp at the OpenOffice.org Conference.

Rob has ideas how to continue the work.
Conformance guidelines have to be prepared.
OASIS now requires conformance guidelines.

Initially a private list might be useful until participants are
more comfortable.
It will be an OASIS-only private mailing list for now.
Dee is already in the process of setting up the lists.

Carol will communicate with Dee.
Erwin will contact Peter to join the calls.
