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. Best wishes,-- Raphael \
