Comments on: ODFDOM 0.7 Released http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/07/odfdom-07-released.html Thinking the unthinkable, pondering the imponderable, effing the ineffable and scruting the inscrutable Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:51:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Rob http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/07/odfdom-07-released.html#comment-2390 Rob Wed, 22 Jul 2009 16:26:19 +0000 http://www.robweir.com/blog/2009/07/odfdom-0-7-released.html#comment-2390 There is no formal relationship between OpenOffice::OODOC and ODFDOM. But they do appear to be different flavors of a similar idea.<br /><br />I did a survey of the available toolkits a few years ago in a <a href="http://www.robweir.com/blog/publications/Programmability.pdf" rel="nofollow">presentation</a>. My observation then was that we had bits and pieces of this functionality,in various open source projects. But some of it supported ODF 1.0 only, or supported only text and spreadsheet, but not presentation, etc. It was uneven in quality and feature level. The idea of the ODF Toolkit Union was to consolidate some of this effort into producing a solid toolkit, in a variety of languages, all under a single harmonized license.
