[odf-discuss] ODF support

[Pete Harlow]

I've used the GRAMPS genealogy program  http://gramps-project.org/ for a
while now. The version I have exports reports as .sxw, and I see the latest
version supports OpenDocument
http://www.genealogysoftwarenews.com/gramps-2010/
although I can't readily see mention of it on the main GRAMPS site.
