Make .odf in Koffice compatible with OO.org
by Dolphin rulez ;) on Sunday 13/May/2007, @11:09

"It is important to create a good infrastructure to support ODF throughout KOffice, so developers won't have a hard time getting their apps to use it."
nice plans but firstly make koffice-odf to be 100% like openoffice-odf. Now we have sad sad situation when making huge text in OO.org, saving as .odf and Koffice won't handle it correctly ;/

IIRC both OO.org and Koffice implement a differnet subset of the specification. i trust however that the developers of both projects are aware of this issue and its importance.

And vice-versa, really. If you open a perfectly conforming KPresenter odp document in OpenOffice you'll see OpenOffice drops a lot of balls there. There is only one ODF -- but no application completely supports it yet. We are more aware of that issue than the OpenOffice developers who tend to think that OpenOffice implements the standard completely. The thing is, In any case, I finished the last bit of the loading infrastructure tonight on the train home, so now we "only" have to implement loading everything :-).

The order to achieve better odf compatibility a good infrastructure is very important. It's better to spend some time to build a good base instead of fixing everything later. Also the odf spec is pretty big and it will take very long to implement it, so this doesn't make a big difference.

There is a testsuite: http://testsuite.opendocumentfellowship.org/
This is in flux, so it can be expected that compability will get better and better in 2.x
