Hello Lennart

I uploaded a snapshot of org-7.3 and committed my workarea files to
repo.or.cz. For now, rely on the commits and the logs to get started
with what I have done till now.

Web Interface:
- http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/oo.git/

Push URL:
- ssh://repo.or.cz/srv/git/org-mode/oo.git

Read-only URL:
- git://repo.or.cz/org-mode/oo.git
- http://repo.or.cz/r/org-mode/oo.git

Admin URL:
- http://repo.or.cz/editproj.cgi?name=org-mode/oo

I will send the admin password separately to you (Lennart) and Matt
separately so that you can add yourself to committers.

I agree that working with a template file is more user-friendly than
working with an xml file.

Which codebase should we start from?

I started with org-html.el because it assured me a stable and
feature-rich base that is also XMLish. 

One of the problems that I see with org-html.el route is that it is a
bit monolithic - there is a one big blob that does everything. The
side-effect of this is that our merges are most likely to conflict (even
if we work on two independent functional pieces)

If you look at org-odt.el, you will see that I have siphoned off the
Table Of Contents in to smaller routines, partly for my own
understanding and mostly because I wanted to break up the monolithic
structure of org-export-as-odt.

I also have a feeling that (my) org-odt.el has started becoming a beast
of it's own resembling less and less like org-html.el that it started
with.
