Hi,

I would like to discuss my ODF-related project at the upcoming Plugtest, 
which is an ODF backend for AsciiDoc. I'd like to take this oportunity to 
quickly explain what our goals are, where we currently are and what issues 
we are dealing with.

So the presentation would basicly have the following structure:

ODF backend for AsciiDoc

  - Why using AsciiDoc ?
  - Why an ODF backend ?
  - Implementation details
  - Limitations
  - Current issues

The summary for the presentation:

----
ODF backend for AsciiDoc

Collaborating on documentation using complex document formats is not easy. 
It doesn't integrate well with a VCS, makes it hard to merge changes to 
distributed documents and collaborating on styling and formatting is 
impossible. Using a lightweight markup language like AsciiDoc as the 
source for your documentation offers a solution, for both content and 
styling. Converting AsciiDoc to ODF makes it ready for widespread use and 
facilitates conversion to other document formats and printing.

This presentation will introduce this solution, detail the existing 
implementation as well as the current limitations and open issues. We will 
demonstrate the solution with practical examples.

Kind regards,
