Can you give me a link to that one? (I am not aware of OOo 2.0 providing such a component) ... just checked, ... no, it does not provide one, at least not in 2.0.

The spec already covers presentations - KPresenter already implemented it.
In fact one of the KOffice developers is a member of the OASIS OpenDocument TC. He's aware of the possibility of a project management specification and willing to bring it in. We just need to come up with a good spec. The main point is that first we should work out what file format works and implement it and then bring it to the committee. This way we can make sure that the suggested spec is also usable. I'm willing to participate in creating such a spec. If anyone wants to join this effort then great, I'm very happy with this :)
The other thing I see is that the spec already has 700+ pages! So I also want to make sure that the specification does not get "overloaded". Still, providing a clean and suitable specification for project management is certainly a good thing as it's certainly commonly used - probably not as much as text or spreadsheets, but still. And it belongs into the "office" domain.
So the first step would be to get together and create a clean file format in the first place. If we think the file format is fine then we can forward it to the OASIS TC.
