That's no use. The problem is that nobody volunteered to add ODF filters 
but someone volunteered to add OOXML filters. It is not Abi's fault if 
nobody volunteered to make an ODF filter.

If someone had volunteered to make ODF filters, I'm sure that Abi would 
not have said no. The problem is not that Abi said "we don't want ODF 
filters". The problem is that, no matter how many people might say "you 
should have ODF filters", nobody has volunteered to do the work.

I think we should have an ODF-to-PDF converter at the Fellowship. Nobody 
has volunteered to make it. Does that mean that the Fellowship is anti-ODF?

Daniel.
