RE: [office] How about an interoperability Subcommittee?
Title: 邮件

Interoperability is the most important thing for ODF nowadays. 
It should be the "next big thing".

The only 
problem is: this SC should be within ODF TC, or ODF Adoption 
TC?

Subject: [office] How about an 
interoperability Subcommittee?

At the 
  OASIS Symposium, and on the ODF Adoption TC calls, there has been a good 
  amount of talk about ODF & interoperability.  This topic arises in a 
  variety of forms: 

1) 
  Interoperability among ODF implementations, both traditional client-based 
  editors (OpenOffice.org, KOffice, etc.) as well as with nontraditional 
  editors, e.g., Google Docs & Spreadsheets 
2) Interoperability between ODF and other embedded markups, like 
  MathML, XForms, etc. 
3) 
  Interoperability between ODF and other high-level document formats, like 
  DocBook, DITA or UOML. 
4) Best 
  practices for interoperability between ODF and embeddable microformats like 
  vCard or Creative Commons licensing. 
5) Interoperability between ODF and legacy document formats from 
  Microsoft, Corel, Lotus, etc. 

It 
  seems to me that these topics may be "next big thing" after the ODF 1.2 work 
  is done. 

Is there any interest 
  among TC members in pursuing some of these topics in more depth in a 
  subcommittee? 

Possible 
  deliverables of the subcommittee might be a technical report on best practices 
  for interoperability, as well as specific recommendations for accomplishing 
  these goals.   

If there is 
  any interest in this, I suggest we discuss on the list and develop a charter 
  and list of deliverables.
