Well done! Just a couple of comments:

"Until the creation of ODF there had been no standard method"

a standard method surely existed, in the eyes of the general public,
including most scientists: "doesn't everybody use Microsoft Word?"
Wouldn't it be more effective to say "no standard method that didn't force
you to depend on only one company"?

Second note: since you're pointing to an openarcheology.net URL, and probably
many of the recipients of those messages will be archeologists, maybe
adding a link to http://www.linux.com/articles/55248 may help them to put
thing
in context. Feel also free to contact me privately if you feel there is stuff
for a follow-up to that article.

HTH,
