Btw, all attached documents (like ODT, PDF, Word) should now be searchable inside via xapian (http://xapian.org/)
Can we set a goal that the open formats will be used exclusively?
Whats closed about XAPIAN?
Documents and document formats address data, not software (e.g. xapian). http://www.apdip.net/publications/fosseprimers/foss-openstds-withcover.pdf http://www.sutor.com/c/essays/osvsos/ When bringing attention to Software Freedom, it helps that open formats are used when promoting software freedom. The message does refer to attached documents, two of which (ODT {sic} and PDF ) are open. In the case of text, ASCII, UTF-8, XHTML, DocBook, ODF, and PDF/A are open formats. When accepting documents for indexing by a SFD project or sub-project, open formats help Freedom, closed formats hurt Freedom. Regards, /Lars
