Hello

I just found in wikipedia 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Org-mode

Claiming there are tools to import _from_ ODT.

Is this true? I have never seen anything like this.

Presumably a reference to

https://bitbucket.org/josemaria.alkala/odt2org/wiki/Home

I haven't used it, and it's rather old (predates org-elements, I think).

Thanks but there are now files for downloading so I presume this project
is dead.

Don't know anything about it but there is something to try:

odt import

[Paul Rudin]

The org info file includes the words "OpenDocument Text (ODT) export
allows seamless collaboration across organizational boundaries." The
export to odt is great and goes part of the way, but for true seamless
collaboration you really need to be able to go both ways.

Does anyone have a way of converting odt->org and back again? I suppose
there would be some difficulties; but if the source document is well
structured - using styles rather than direct formatting - then one could
keep meta information about the applicable styles in properties in the
org file so that there's some hope of a reasonable round trip.
