While at the iSummit, I realized that it would be good to do a survey of
the primary office file formats for metadata and development. Thus, I
created a three pages so that we can build up the knowledge around these
file formats in order to push development along the lines of Microsoft's
plugin for Microsoft Office which allows for CC licensing of content
created within Microsoft Office.

Wouldn't it be great to have other plugins for other apps as well?

Please take a peek at these pages and add examples and knowledge which
we (in the community) can use to hopefully build other plugins for other
applications which might use these file formats to add CC license and
metadata.

Oh, btw, OpenDocument and the new Microsoft XML formats use dublin core
metadata, which we already have documented on how to add licensing and
metadata.

I did not mean to exclude any office document file formats. I just
wanted to get the ball rolling.
