The link for "WAV" as in the "WAV Word Processor" points to the .wav sound file format and nothing to do with the title of the application - right? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mproud (talk • contribs) 07:58, April 21, 2004  (UTC)

message: Very interesting info but obsolete. I came here and read it to find Opendocument data and I enjoyed the hour I wasted but an hour is an hour. I think there should be a disambig. page -- but I added a bold heading to the steering statement at the top. Thanks.

message: "They were inherently cross-platform, as well as riding a massive Java hype fest."
The phrasing of this is poor, especially the word 'fest'. Additionally, its not true. Java didnt compete in the document editing world at all, ESPECIALLY in this time period. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.24.117.190 (talk) 03:36, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

message: "For instance, it seems unlikely that anyone would want to include a page layout view inside their spreadsheet, or spreadsheet inside their page layout."
Interestingly, Apple's Numbers spreadsheet application is exactly that.  iWork '08 has very little to do with OpenDoc, except in concept -- each of the applications (presentation, spreadsheet, document) is able to hold and layout the same types of content; it's just the focus of the app and the container controls that differ between them.

replies: text: I removed the offending sentence. Remember ClarisWorks? One of its strengths was being able to embed any kind of view in any other view, for example a spreadsheet in a word processing doc, or vice versa. Anyone who used ClarisWorks heavily remembers how powerful that was. --User:tooki 84.253.11.96 (talk) 10:53, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I just happened to read this article today and was surprised that IBM is barely mentioned and that Novell is not mentioned at all.  Yes, Apple was the inventor and leading designer of OpenDoc,  but Novell and IBM also were key implementers.   The IBM team in Boca Raton Florida focused on the OS/2 implementation.  Apple worked on the Mac version.   I believe Novell worked on Netware.  I believe the Windows implementation started with WordPerfect, which was acquired by Novell.  IBM might have as well in support of OS/2's Windows layer.  I recall some Unix activity but I forget who was involved with that.    Jasonnet (talk) 14:20, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
