Hi Mike,

In the branch of press-media, there are two documents currently. An MS Word and MS PowerPoint document.
I'm calling for SVN committers for _no more_ MS Office documents. They are a proprietary format, of which not all the features are currently known. I recommend instead the use of OASIS OpenDocument. Not only does it save much space, but it also does not contain any secrets in which need to be reverse engineered to discover.
If the developers vote for it I have no problem abiding by that. That being said I am not going to call for a vote on it right now. I am more productive in Microsoft Office than I am in OpenOffice when it comes to presentations and I don't really want to be strong armed in to any format (open or closed). I chose Powerpoint because I KNOW every single Windows+Office system in the world can view my presentation. I am happy to make duplicates of my stuff in OpenDocument but I don't want to be forced in to it.
Thanks Steven
