3.Update the future of OpenDocument to include more recent news updates.

4. Include portions of the OpenDocument code within the chapter as source of reference.

Editorial Board - Viji:

I like all your suggestions. Just remember to make the changes that we are making to all chapters (many will not apply to this chapter, but some like putting the learning objectives in a table will apply).

Is there an example of code or an exercise that would be appropriate for this chapter?

Professor
The chapter could do with some links to other sites (eg OASIS, Star Office) Say a bit more about the zip archive as this is something interesting about OO that most people will not know about. What is it?

In class, show people how to get OO and give them a demonstration of using it with a MS Office product (eg Word), and show the XML files, etc created by OO.

A good exercise would be to get the class to create an OO document and then use XSLT to transform it.
