Subject: Re: [odf-adoption] OpenDocument White Paper - Ideas/Outline
Let me throw one other topic on the list. "Collaboration within a mixed environment".
In giving a presentation a couple weeks ago, which included a short discussion on ODF, several audience members voiced concerns regarding document file compatibility when working in a mixed collaboration environment (aka ODF and non ODF based file formats).
ODF adoption in the user world is launching some organizations into a heterogeneous document processing environment instead of a homogeneous one. - Which is not a bad thing, but one that some may consider a barrier to adoption, given their current document sharing practices and potential transition pains.
Based on my discussion with this audience, I believe that some of the heterogeneous environment fears could be allayed by better collaboration models, philosophies and best practices. Hence the suggested topic of "Collaboration within a mixed environment". regards, Alan Clark
