I have resigned from Apache OpenOffice

+1

     Seems like you were already the "unofficial" leader. You were doing
wonderful too!
     Side note (the AOO chapter template): I noticed the new looks for
the Note/Tip/Caution "tables". I'm a little partial to the ones with a
graphic though. Lists could not be placed in them though. With some
experimenting, I found a way to eliminate that problem: use a frame.
Give the frame the background and border properties for OOoTip, OOoNote,
or OOoCaution. Also remove these properties from these three styles.
     Yes, I also am subscribed to the odfauthors mailing list. Very
seldom does anyone use it any more.

I like the graphics as well, but... I found that using a frame works well for PDF (and print) production but fails badly in conversion to other formats such as HTML and ePub or even wiki. The tables don't work all that well in conversions either. I know you've done some work hacking ePub files, so perhaps you know of a way to deal with this that doesn't involve time-consuming manual work.

I think it's important to make our source files as conversion-friendly as possible, even if it means that any one output format isn't as exciting as we'd like. Of course, if there were a magic macro or several to deal with conversion issues, that would be ideal.

Welcome and congratulations -again- for being the leader (unspoken,
outspoken, or any other way you'll like it) of the documentation project.

Best,

Charles.
