[Officeshots] New feature: ODF Anonymiser

[robert_weir at us.ibm.com]

Hi Sander,

Do you have blog for Officeshots.org?  Or a feed for announcements like 
this?  I'd love to share news like this but I have no place to link to.

Or maybe we want an "ODF Plugfest" blog, with multiple authors, from 
OpenDoc society, Officeshots.org, etc?
