[ANNOUNCEMENT][THANKS] Apache ODF Toolkit(Incubating) 0.5-incubating Release
Hi all, Thanks all of the voters from this list. Now there is a result ;) The Apache ODF Toolkit(Incubating) team is pleased to announce the release of 0.5-incubating. This is our first Apache release. The Apache ODF Toolkit is a set of Java modules that allow programmatic creation, scanning and manipulation of Open Document Format (ISO/IEC 26300 == ODF) documents. Unlike other approaches which rely on runtime manipulation of heavy-weight editors via an automation interface, the ODF Toolkit is lightweight and ideal for server use. A full list of changes is available in the change log[1]. People interested should also follow the mail list[2] to track progress. The ODF Toolkit source release as well as the pre-built binary deployment packages are listed in the downloads page[3]. Pre-built versions of all ODF Toolkit components are available in the central Maven repository under Group ID org.apache.odftoolkit and Version 0.5-incubating.

Re: [tdf-discuss] ODF and HTML 5
Interesting! I also submit a proposal about ODF and HTML5( http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12957), but no positive response... 2011/10/4 Dennis E. Hamilton dennis.hamil...@acm.org My apologies for the heavy-duty cross-posting. It might be good to pick a single public list and a subject header and converge there. Q: WHERE IS THE PROPOSAL? This started as a simple e-mail list question by Jaime R. Garza on the [tdf-discuss] list: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/msg07698.html. There is no proposal in the sense of some technical submission to adapt ODF for this purpose. You are pretty much seeing the extent of the discussion so far. The proposal is a paragraph and concept being echoed around these lists now. Q: WHERE TO BECOME INVOLVED IN ODF IN HTML5? There are probably two ways to be involved. First, development of a proof-of-concept and working [reference] implementation is valuable. Secondly, the development of necessary specifications, perhaps jointly between the OASIS ODF TC and the W3C, might be required. Also, one needs to differentiate between making some sort of OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice deliverable that works in HTML5 and a worked extension of HTML5 that somehow ties into the ODF Format. It might not even make technical sense to make ODF part of HTML5, and that has to be resolved also. Q: WHAT ABOUT OASIS (and what does Rob Weir have to say about this)? Rob is on vacation this week. I know he and others involved on the OASIS TCs are interested in this topic. A related topic (defining HTML5 presentation of ODF documents) was raised at the OASIS ODF Interoperability and Conformance (OIC TC) on their 2011-09-07 teleconference call: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oic/201109/msg9.html. It came under section 3.2.3 Profiles. The discussion is of a Web Profile for ODF. That is not an insignificant effort. Q: WHAT ARE THE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES? ODF has no rendering model and certainly not an interactive-presentation/-editing model. None. Obviously, OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice do, but those is not to be found in the ODF specification. There are an insignificant number of [X]HTML-isms in the ODF specifications. XLINK is used, for example. There is no specified mapping to [X]HTML. If there were, the import/export of [X]HTML in various implementations of ODF-bases software would presumable work better. That would be the potential subject matter of a Web Profile though. There is no standardized ODF DOM (and API) nor a mapping of ODF into an HTML[5] DOM. Somehow, to make macros and applets work inside ODF, something like this is required as well, although having it fit HTML5 as well might be a confusion of abstraction levels. (The integration of macros and applets that access the interior structure and external presentation of an ODF document is implementation-defined in ODF 1.2.) Q: WHERE CAN TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT HAPPEN? The ODF Toolkit project offers some DOM implementations, but they are not part of ODF itself. The ODF Toolkit project is currently being moved to Apache though. That project is currently quite Java-centric. It might be interesting to include that effort in this conversation, however. If a public reference implementation were to be developed, I believe it is desirable to have it be Apache licensed, wherever development were to occur. The possibility of a new podling at Apache specifically for this effort should not be overlooked. That is the only political part that I see to these challenges, apart from developers, including in private projects, wanting to do it themselves. -Original Message- From: Jaime R. Garza [mailto:gar...@gmail.com] http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/msg07708.html http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-dev/201110.mbox/%3ccajgn0paeboks7htqpc0waw_qrjgcxezr-rk+63mmbubsce-...@mail.gmail.com%3e Sent: Monday, October 03, 2011 03:29 To: disc...@documentfoundation.org Cc: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [tdf-discuss] ODF and HTML 5 Do you have any contacts, links, infos about the proposal and status? I would really like to get involved! I think the first step is to integrate ODF into HTML5 as read only, editing could come later. But this is more political than technical. Cheers!

On the face of it it sounds a good idea but I don't know enough about the details or whether this is already in progress. I guess it would require discussion with W3C, OASIS, and probably TDF
Re: opendocument-users discussion list at OASIS
I have subscribed. Thanks for sharing this list, Rob. It will be helpful for me to enhance my skills and knowledge. 2011/9/23 Rob Weir robw...@apache.org We have an OASIS mailing, opendocument-us...@oasis-open.org, to provide an open forum for developers to exchange ideas and information on implementing ODF. I invite you to subscribe via the web interface here: http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/ There are other, formal, ways of giving feedback on the ODF standard to OASIS, and OASIS members on this list (Dennis, Don and myself) can help us navigate that process when we have formal proposals. But the opendocument-users is a place where interested parties can interact with other implementors of the ODF standard. I'd encourage you to join if you have an interest in the ODF file format. Regards, -Rob -- -Devin
