CUNY Academic Commons

Hi All,

A request from a faulty member about allowing upload of Open Documents, (related to redmine ticket #13578)

Two years ago I had a request (4906) handled by Laurie Hurson to
add Open Document Presentation (ODP) files to the CUNY Common media
uploader.

Now I'm finding that other Open Document file formats are still being
blocked, such as the text (ODT) spreadsheet (ODS), and graphics (ODG)
files. At the moment I'm trying to upload a spreadsheet file as a
supplement to a paper submission (see attachment).

I'll point out like last time that Open Document file formats are ISO
standards, supported by all the main office software and web suites, a
mandatory standard of NATO members, etc., so I think it's wise that we
support these standards.

I hope we can open up submissions of ODS and other open document formats
at this time?

Let me know what you think.

Thank you!
