Hi Tim and the MLHIM Community,

I am a strong first-hour advocate of ODF for our documents. I am very
happy that that decision was made.
I volunteer to migrate all the documentation to ODF as long as we define
a template.
But before I would ask: other than header and footer, is there really a
need for a template or a master document? Aren't we trying to "make
things as simple as possible, but no simpler"? For me, template-free
ODFs are "make things as simple as possible, but no simpler", because
otherwise the alternative is having incomplete documentation, which is
the "simpler" situation.

Cheers,

Luciana.
