    Yes, but wouldn't it be peachy if you didn't have to convert back?

    If you can post docs you should be able to post odts.

    Open office is actually, well 'Open'. It makes a startlingly low entrance requirement for a publicly minded site. I find that Odts are usually smaller than doc files. They are easier to fix (its a zip file with another name folks). The source code is looked at regularly by people who have no contractual secrecy to maintain. They don't have the same history of macro viruses (I have no idea if this is technical prowess or obscurity). You can legally publish ODTs complete with the word processor that wrote them - for complete convenience. You are not asking people to buy $99+ worth of software or pirate anything.

    Other than that, I'm in favour of the idea.
