Looking at how lean the Keynote import plugin seems to be I was hoping it w= ould. But I also just discovered that plugin doesn't work with my .key = files - after I managed to force-build Stage which was uneventful once I ha= d figured out which file to hack (is there an official way to say "ign= ore there's no current maintainer, just build it"?)

Not sure what you mean here; I'm looking for import of my .pages docume= nts.
I don't remember if and how well my version(*) of Pages exports to ODF = format, but it's export to .doc is ... perfectable.

I mean that if ODF was a common denominator for iW= orks->outside world too then the future would be brighter. That's a = wishful thinking of course. Unless export of ODF was modernized, Apple is n= ow way more closed-mindset company than MS ;)


*) From iWorks 09. Old, but one of the best releases before they started st= ripping more advanced features that may or may not have been restored in la= ter versions which won't run on my OS version.

I'll see if and how LO deals with those .pages files (pardon, directori= es :) ) of mine.
