Microsoft Office 2007 wird OpenDocument doch unterstützen

[Gadget 37]

Vor kurzem hat MSFT die Unterstützung des offenen Formates Opendocument bekanntgeben.

 

Die Schnittstelle für Office 2007 wird als Opensource Projekt auf Sourceforge gehostet, ich halte das für einen wichtigen Schritt in Richtung ...Offenheit u. Standardisierung.

 

There should actually be a prototype of the first translator (for Word 2007) posted up on SourceForge later on today (http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter'>http://sourceforge.net/projects/odf-converter). It's going to be made available under the BSD license, and anyone can provide feedback, submit bugs, and of course directly contribute to the project. The Word tool should be available by the end of this year, with the Excel and PPT versions following in 2007.

There will be a menu item in the Office applications that will point people to the downloads for XPS, PDF, and now ODF. So you'll have the ability to save to and open ODF files directly within Office (just like any other format).

Ach jetzt doch?! ...Richtige Richtung!

Mitnichten, mein Freund, mitnichten.

 

" Open Source Industry Australia Limited (OSIA), Australia's open source industry body, welcomes Microsoft's acceptance of the new gold-standard in office file formats, ODF. ODF will now be interoperable with the most widely implemented office suite in the country. But OSIA cautions 'buyer beware'. Microsoft have announced development of a conversion plugin for the next version of Office, rather than adding ODF as a default option for saving and opening documents. Conversion does not protect against data loss. OpenOffice.org, the major competitor to MS Office, already uses the OpenDocument Format as the default for saving documents."
