2011/04/05 #3: Supporting open formats on the mailing list
Summary
As an free/open-source project run by people who support free/open-source software, we should take a stand by only allowing open formats on the mailing list.
Proposed by: Francis Tyers
Seconded by: Mlforcada
In detail
Posts with the following formats would be rejected from the mailing list: .doc, .docx, .pptx, .ppt, .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, .pptx, .pptm
In order to add further formats to be rejected, a new proposal will need to be made.
Comments
Comments on the proposal are welcome. Please sign your comments using ~~~~
