First of all thanks for your efforts. I just started to rely on org-odt and am a little bit puzzled by your decision. Will you take care of org-odt working in orgmode for the foreseeable future or don`t you care about orgmode anymore? Just to be clear: It`s of course totally your decision, but I don`t want to be taken by surprise if I base some work on that wonderful tool.
