Erwin,

I think that this person simply got confused between the newsletter
mailing list and the announce mailing list; let's just contact him and
point him to the announce mailing list...

Best,
Charles.

>>    with OpenOffice the same amount of work they could do with Microsoft
>>    Office. As shown in Figure 46, under 10% of respondents thought they

>> A Review of the Wikipedia Article on ODF
>> ----------------------------------------
>> "As I had done last week with the Wikipedia article on Office Open XML
>> (OOXML), I have taken a read through the article on OpenDocument Format
>> (ODF). My aim was to do some fact checking and make some suggestions on
>> some additional references that might be included. In some case I've
>> made
>> additional usage or phrasing suggestions, but I have not endeavored to
>> do a full edit of the article.
>>
>> In accordance with Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guidelines, I will
>> put a link to this blog entry on the ODF article's Talk page. These
>> points are for the consideration of the volunteers editing the article,
>> to consider and do what they want with them. I'll probably repeat this
>> review on a quarterly basis."
