"An accessibile OpenDocument reader"
"Inspired by discussions with the Ubuntu Accessibility team, we have written a fully accessible text-based OpenDocument reader. Some quick notes:

* It runs on Linux/Unix only.
* It requires xsltproc and either elinks or links or lynx (Recommended: elinks).
* It is more usable with elinks. Please use that if you can.
* It is very small! (4KB - because it reuses elinks)
* It is very fast!"

Found here.

More and more countries getting interested in ODF
As you can read in the press release "ODF Alliance Congratulates Malaysia on Preliminary Designation of OpenDocument Format as Malaysian Standard", Malaysia is yet another country considering ODF. In addition, the article mentions that the ODF Alliance has already more than 280 members. Cool!
