Hello everyone and happy new year!

I have just released a new feature for Officeshots: The ODF anonymiser. 
The ODF Anonymiser tries to make your document completely anonymous 
while maintaining it's overall structure. All metadata is removed or 
cleaned. All text in the document is replaces with gibberish text that 
has approximately the same word length and word distribution. All images 
are replaced with placeholder images. All unknown content is removed.

The result of the anonymiser is a document that has the same general 
structure but with made-up contents. If your original document does not 
work in a certain application, the anonymised version of the document 
should fail in the same manner. By using the anonymiser you can test 
your private documents without exposing the contents to our rendering 
clients.

To use the Anonymiser, simply check the appropriate checkbox on the 
front page.

The ODF Anonymiser is written and maintained by the people who created 
the iTools Python libraries [1]. The Anonymiser is part of that library 
(called ODF Greek). Many thanks for their contribution.
