Re: [office] RE: [odf-adoption] Interest in ISO version of ODF 1.1?

[Jomar Silva <jomar.silva@br.odfalliance.org>]

As the responsible of working group that produced the Brazilian 
Portuguese version of ODF (NBR ISO/IEC 26.300), I think that this should 
be a good idea a few years ago, but with ODF 1.2 almost ready, this 
decision would impose us an unnecessary effort.

On the last time, it took us almost a year to translate and revise the 
ODF standard and it costs a lot here. I would wait a few more months and 
do the necessary effort to work on ODF 1.2 (I think that the same 
scenario would apply to all countries where the translation to local 
language is mandatory).

So for me, at this moment, this is priority 1 (to respect Rob's scale, 
because on my own this should be a -10).

Best,

Jomar
