Re: [marketing] [Fwd: [releases] 3.2 New Features page]
Good input. I think ODF is OASIS's baby rather than the W3Cs, but I like your explanation of what ODF is. I'm not as sure about having a separate "technical improvement" section: how about using bulleted lists as you suggest, but as a visual clue that this is technical information? I think this makes it easier for people to 'skim read' the page on the web if they are just after highlights. Folks, thanks for all your comments. I've been asked by translators to get the text finalised by close of business today so that they can get busy...
