Hi, I have had some time to socialize a bit and I have spent it by asking Mac users which office suite do they use. :) And the answer was OOo or LO recently. They simply have to deal with Microsoft office formats and communicate with people using MS Office on MS Windows.
We know that the current OOXML support in OOo/LO is let's say "not any good". Why don't we use the chance? I think if we would invest additional time to improve OOXML filters and usability we could score big! Export to OOXML could then make us the winner. At the moment we are not even number 2, because Mac users are not aware of calligra. At the moment the get-calligra page [1] states "There is also preliminary support on Mac OS X", but there's nothing like a package or even the Mac keyword at that location. ----- Then I mentioned calligraconverter to people working at science academy and university. They were impressed that there's a command line tool enabling them batch conversions and can be included into scripts. And there's no information at calligra.org about calligraconverter. Let's provide an option to download calligraconverter as a separate package. Mac OS X and GNU Linux users can still use OOo/LO to edit and save files to MIcrosoft formats but use calligraconverter to deal with OOXML. I know that we could use a long time sponsor but to propagate calligra a bit more could help us to get some sponsorship, attract new contributors and increase the number of bug reports.
