Yes, I will add support for footnotes.

In the first release, I hope to support the most common (if not all of)
Orgmode features *natively* in OpenOffice.

For me it would be very helpful to be able to export footnotes to
OpenOffice format. This is something that doesn't work via HTML-export.
Do you plan to add support for footnotes?

Bernt,

I've had decent luck with embedded images via the HTML route, mainly
EPS files. See here:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/29585

What type of images are you having problems with? That said, I'm
excited about Jambunathan's direct export option.

Thanks for the link.  I'm trying to embed ditta and graphviz graphics
files (mainly PNGs)

I haven't managed to get embedded images into an OO or Word document
satisfactorily using the org -> HTML -> MS Word route yet.  An exporter
that handles this correctly would be great!

I am aware of the Org->Docbook bridge. I have been in this list for a
while now (8+ months). I keep track of discussions that take place on a
day to day basis.

To avoid any confusion, the queries in my original post were related to
the Docbook->Openoffice bridge that you linked to and not to the
Org->Docbook bridge.

Docbook->Openoffice in this case or the second converter in the chain
(in general) seem to be a vital component in the whole scheme of things
as it stands today.

Nothing is going to dissuade from putting an effort.

I think so.
Moreover Baoqiu is active in this list and he's *extremely responsive*,
when it comes to bugs in the exporter he wrote.

Please, see his last (I think) email: Fri, 14 May 2010 21:01:07 -0700

Thanks for the suggestion. If I run in to some serious road-block with
my new converter I think I can consult existing converters to show me
the way forward.

Do you use this converter personally? What are your observations?

The entries in the issue tracker seem to be anywhere between 3-7 years
old. The converter is quite stable I suppose.

There is also the org-DocBook exporter. DocBook files can be read by OOo

If a new exporter is available and is as good as your normal solution,
would you abandon your current preference in favour of the new exporter
