Re: [office-comment] ODF-Next: 3D and WebGL

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Leonard,

Excellent suggestion!

I don't know of anyone on the TC who has a WebGL background or interest 
in WebGL so the first step would be to get someone with that interest 
involved in the TC.

Assuming one or more such people joining the TC, the TC would need a 
proposal to be considered for inclusion in the next version of ODF.

The TC has adopted some standing rules with regards to proposals, which 
can be reviewed at:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=41285

Please forward this message to anyone with WebGL skills and an interest 
in ODF.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Patrick
