Hi,

As David already mentioned there is some effort under way to create a \
common  native file format for Office suites. Also Thomas showed that we \
need an  improved format for KOffice.

Currently most of the discussion with regards to the file format is done on \
 the office_standards@openoffice.org mailing list. Please be aware of the \
fact  that this discussion was not initiated by the OO people and is a very \
general  topic for everyone involved in Office documents. It is more of a \
coincident  that the discussion currently takes place there.

In the future there might be a dedicated forum to discuss the file format 
independent on OO but of course with OO people participating.

The fact that currently the German Government and also the European Union 
administration are interested in supporting this effort (just imagine that \
it  could be mandatory to send tenders and other documents in this format \
to  these agencies..) can really help us imho.

Yours,

mailing  list is  http://xml.openoffice.org/standardisation/
