Working almost everyday with implementing solutions that support ODF and OOXML I am naturally tasked (or more appropriately: challenged) with ambiguities in the forementioned specifications. At first glance ODF has an appealing simpleness and form, and reading the specification is almost like reading a book in natural "prose". However - the easiness to read sadly comes at the expense of clear language. So - as always when implementing any specifications, you need to have somewhere to go to ask your technical questions regarding how to implement the damn thing or questions about how to read the devil.
And therein lies my problem:
Where do I go to get answers to get these questions about ODF? Where is the website for ODF-development?
I have tried the forums at opendocument.xml.org -but the groups there are almost dead.
I have tried the maillist for the OpenDocument TC, but it is also almost dead.
So please help me - where do I go?
Update: I almost forgot - I have also prowled the Danish blogsphere where the ongoing battle between OpenXml and ODF usually takes place, but noone has been able to give me any pointers to where they usually get their information about implementing ODF.
(or have I been so heavily stigmatised by being pro-choice that noone wants to help me?)
