I did some initial research on this. It seems that .pages ect formats
work in the same way as ODF formats in the fact they are some form of
compressed archive. I was able to explore them through a archive such as
7zip.

Hi :)
Thanks Alex!  I guess we would rather have devs working on more widely
used stuff.  It's always possible to put these ideas forwards possibly
for Extensions and just see if that sparks a new dev into working on
LibreOffice.  I was wondering if there was already an Extension for
OpenOffice or something lurking around some long forgotten corner of the
internet but i guess the original poster would have already tried
googling for that sort of thing.  

I found the link that i keep losing
http://blog.freedomsponsors.org/about/
but if Apple are no longer supporting their own formats then i doubt
anyone else will be keen to!
Regard from
Tom :)

Hi Tom,

Hi :)
It might be worth putting forwards as a major project for next year's "Google Summer of Code". 
 The topics for this year have been selected  already.  

Seriously, I doubt that anyone is going to volunteer to provide Claris
or Appleworks support. These are old binary formats.


Now, Pages/Numbers/Keynote support might interest more people, but for
that you would need a Mac developer with some serious time on his/her
hands and at the moment there aren't many floating around in this project.

To my knowledge, not even other apps on OSX can open the
Pages/Numbers/Keynote files. One would have thought that if the problem
of interoperability with these formats was that acute, then some bright
Mac spark would have developed an app that could do just that, convert
them to something more useful.


Alex
