sorry, that's not gonna fly here. Participants in this project are often self-directed and volunteers, or employees of companies with very individual priorities & schedules. Having a liaison person that cannot command resources is then rather pointless. > From where I stand (and I'm not part of any specific project) there > are a number of interoperability issues at your end still open I > think, although probably people within TDF are already working on > these. > If you, or someone else, has such a list, would be cool to have it filed properly in bugzilla & maybe some meta-issue to track. > Even though ODF as a document format has plenty of traction, some > specific parts such as ODF's 3D objects stand less of a chance to > make it as the dominant standard in this area (given that there > are far better and more widely used standards for 3D).

Beyond that, while I sympathize with the idea to have a public face for odf, in practice I prefer less formal roles over more titles. So for all the other ODF processing project participants that I haven't chatted with yet, feel free to mention my name as a potential initial point of contact (or anybody else who'd like to volunteer here). Even better, encourage them to mail libreoff...@lists.freedesktop.org with a rough patch, and/or the willingness to contribute to the solution. :) Cheers, -- Thorsten -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to board-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
