SD: I agree that using open source files is better, but reading the
approach section did not seem clear to me, that you were in favour of
using open source formats. I don't know either if odp formats are
supported by Powerpoint.

SD: While reading the approach section, I understood that you meant HTML
was nothing wfor experienced presenters.

SD: Ok, this point was not clear to me.

sd: When I read the approach section, the term "two formats" was 
confusing for me. I thought you were talking about PPT format and ODP 
format. But if you meant one presentation format and one HTML format, I 
agree with that.

Talk to you later
