Barrapunto

En Slashdot ha hablado un mantenedor de AbiWord (Dom Lachowicz) y ha dicho [slashdot.org]:

That said, it might make sense for upstream packagers (RedHat, Ximian, ...) or individual users to change Abi's default file format to RTF or OOo to meet their needs. It's a matter of changing 1 line of code, or altering 1 line in a configuration file. It's intentionally easy.

Pero ellos defienden RTF como formato de intercambio...

Basically, while it makes sense for us to support the OOo file formats as best as possible, it is not desirable for us to make them the default file formats. If anything, RTF is a much better choice for this particular job, as I don't believe MS will be supporting the OOo file format anytime this century. However, both support RTF, and RTF is capable of preserving ~100% of the content and data that DOC is, albeit oftentimes more verbosely.

Saludos.
