Hi OASIS OO TC,
If possible, as part of the August 9th agenda, could we discuss the
proposed changes to file format extensions and mime types? These
proposals were somewhat put forward by Michael Brauer in his email
message: [office] Extensions and MIME types.
The proposals are outlined and explained in a document Michael pointed
to in his message:
<Michael> "The OpenOffice.org people created a proposal which
extension they want to use in their product, so we might want to
continue our discussion:
http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/fileIO/FileFormatNames.sxw
</Michael>
The new extensions have caused a bit of a flurry at OpenOffice.org.
One i must respond to.
So if it's all the same to the members of the TC, i would appreciate it
if we could bring this issue up for discussion. And if there are no
objections, a vote, one way or the other, would be helpful. What i
really need is a sense of where the TC members are regarding the new
file extension proposal.
Oh yeah,
+1 New File Extensions and Mime Types.
Thanks, i hope the list server can handle html,
~ge~
