Support #16702

Updated by Laurie Hurson about 2 years ago

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 add Open Document Presentation (ODP) files to the CUNY Common media 
 >uploader. uploader. 

 >Now I'm finding that other Open Document file formats are still being
