I still totally agree ... and you've stated many reasons why the use of
open file formats and free software is required to enable collaboration.

So, I'd like to kindly ask you for a favor - could you please summarize
these thoughts on a wiki page, so that other new community members get
an idea how "we" usually work? That was something I had in mind since
quite some time ... but never managed to start writing such a page. I
promise that I'll add stuff later ;-)

And, it would be greatly complement our already existing tools page:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/User_Experience/Tools

So, Tobias (or anybody interested), could you start such a
"Design/Collaboration" page?

Cheers,
Christoph
