On the web site we say that the Apache POI Project's mission is to create and maintain Java APIs for Microsoft Documents, but in the code we avoid any MS-specific terms such as 'Excel' and 'Word' and use more generic terms like 'Spreadsheet' and 'Document'. We (I mean POI team) really aim to be a general-purpose API for Office documents, not necessarily MS Office. I don't see why we shouldn't put the ODF Toolkit under POI umbrella. > > Hopefully discussions on the POI dev list can shake out a few mentors (I'm > happy to mentor an ODF Toolkit podling, but it'd take more than just me!), > then we could put together a proposal to bring in the ODF Toolkit.
