What I'd like to have would be an real simple solution, in the best case human-readable plain-text (no TeX or html code) and letting the presenter render it to make it nice and shiny. Why not use something like Textile[1] or similar solutions [2] [3]? Additional just use edje-templates to define the style. Would be extremely easy for the user, look nice and consistent, and not such a giant waste of time like Powerpoint, OOImpress, LaTeX and so on. And you can concentrate on the content only, not on irrelevant side work.
Looking forward what you'll bring us.
