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 \
