Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Better filename extension

Hi!

Sorry for top-posting, but on the road...

It's an interesting idea. Given that LibreOffice is clearly becoming the 
best office suite choice for privacy, something like ".pdt" (private 
document text) would probably be a better choice.

OTOH, there's been a lot of work over the last decade to spread 
awareness of ODF and its extensions, so making such a big change could 
be very difficult. And that's just from the marketing side -- I'm not 
sure what would happen on various operating systems if one new 
LibreOffice release started saving in .pdt rather than .odt, and how the 
OSes would handle the file associations...
