I have used it ever since there was a project called irows. Actually I am  
not sure if I was the first but definetly carry a conversation with the  
IRow people (before they were acquaried by Google).

They had an inmediate response (less than 1 week), however there were  
improvements which I kept track for a while but I couldnt follow the  
evolution since the Google acquisition.

Here is the old email:

I would like to have OpenDocument available in IRows, the funcitionality
is not very hard since there is already available filters for this under
XSLT.
