I think that someone tried to explain that to me before, and I didn't really  
understand.  I understand now!  Thanks for explaining

You still need to put the page in a category, so it can be found without  
knowing the URL before hand.


It's a bit weird how to get it there... hit edit on the page and select a  
"book". If you wish to select a subcategory (which is strongly suggested to  
not pollute the highest level), you need to select the parent cat and then  
hit that change book button. Then a new drop down appears to select a parent  
item. See I warned you it would be crazy! :)


You might want to repeat this song and dance for all the wiki pages you've  
done as needed.

Thanks MB and Legimet.  I added your ideas to this page, under "free  
implementation of a proprietary specification"

I hope that I understood correctly -- please let me know if I got it wrong

And MB, you're right; I'll focus on free formats where there some kind of  
consensus/quality stamp

An exception is when the free application reverse engineered the format, like  
how LibreOffice supports MS Office formats. Those are definitely not free  
formats.

Of course, those are the default formats used by LibreOffice. (I can't edit  
my post)

I try to use JSON as much as I can for client and server side data exchange  
and storage, but I use it for web projects only at this point.

The .gnucash file format is free but I don't think it is standardised.

I don't know about all these formats, but here http://libreprojects.net there

Hi guys,

Could you please post examples of free formats?  A name and a link to a  
website should be enough.  The goal is to populate these documentation pages  
with info about free formats:


Spreadsheet
Accounting
Presentation
Timekeeping
Point of sale
Project management
Customer relationship management
statistics
mind map
