Hi,

 external people attending the lgm should have a way to donate... and if we 
 can have some reports out just after the lgm is over, we may also ask the 
 people to help us to achieve our 1$ goal...

I would recommend separating the two things - the pledgie drive allows
us to build up some buzz for the conference and know how much money we
have available, it's useful to end it earlier to (a) have a last-minute
dash like we had over the weekend and (b) allow accurate budgeting. The
paypal account for LGM is open all year round, and donations to
l...@gnome.org can be made any time - I'd perhaps make it easy for
attendees to pledge a donation during the conference, but not to do it
through Pledgie, which is really a fundraising drive.

Cheers,
Dave.

 The .indd file format isn't public, AFAIK - but since I am attending the
 Creative Suite Developers Conference today - I will double check!

 What _IS_ available to you and should be under an acceptable license (and
 if not, let me know and I'll get it fixed!) is the .indx format (aka IDML)
 which is the XML+ZIP-based file format used by CS4 and CS5 for document
 interchange with other products, including our own.

 I would recommend that if you plan to add support for InDesign to some
 other product (eg. Scribus), go with .indx.

I can confirm that the IDML and INX specs are under an acceptable license. The 
experimental Scribus branch 1.5svn already has an IDML import filter.
