I disagree with this. I don't know how to use oo.o or variants, and I don't intend on learning something I have no interest in. I'm currently putting together a presentation for the speeches I have coming up on ReactOS. If a rule was put in place where we could only commit OpenDocument files, I would simply not put it into the repository and would instead share it with anyone who wanted it via email.
This isn't because I'm being awkward, it's because I have no time or interest to learn a new office suite .... and I certainly don't want to install oo.o on my machine.
I suppose it's this attitude which keeps MS Office up as a monopoly, which now make me realise why they don't want to support OpenDocument.
I don't know what "learning" there is. You may have to find something lurking a few items up or down in a menu; however, the things that it can do over that of what Office can do, is pretty amazing. It's intuitive, and unless you're a heavy VBScript programmer, you wouldn't be disappointed.
