| * How about using an online web Office application for example like Google Docs (it's the only good one I know off-head). In the word processor you will obviously have to support OO-XML and OASIS OpenDocument which is a real hard MF task otherwise there is no point as you will be in a small nutshell being the only one able to read and save the documents. Perhaps a MS Wordpad-like application with RTF documents? For what's in my case, I'm a happy OOo user. But at last there are also Desktop-wiki applications like **Zim** and **Tomboy** that support wiki/camel syntax, and even standalone HTML files with javascript like **Wiki on a stick** and **Tiddly wiki**. --- mike | * How about using an online web Office application for example like Google Docs (it's the only good one I know off-head).

| * Well, an online app can't really substitute a local one in this case (especially on a mobile device). Wordpad-like app is nice, but I don't really see any point in choosing RTF as default - the specification is pretty obscure and not really implemented correctly in contemporary MS products (although the spec is open, you still get compatibility issues). Second, I can't see a reason why choosing ODT would make it necessary to support OOXML as well. OOXML specs are enormous and intricated to my knowledge (although I am not really competent here). But you are right about WordPad (or Ted, in terms of functionality) - that's exactly what I want, just a little bit more contemporary and supporting a more recent standard as default. --- ilembitov | * Well, an online app can't really substitute a local one in this case (especially on a mobile device).

| - | * I would be very much against an Xfword: Xfce is not in any way in the business of word processing. If you're looking for something lightweight and cool try **LyX**, a GUI to LaTeX that allows you to easily create beautifully typeset documents and presentations. The quality of the professionally-looking LaTeX- / LyX-generated PDF documents surpasses by far the capabilities of ordinary word processors (MS Word, OOo, Abiword, etc.). | + | * I would be very much against an Xfword: Xfce is not in any way in the business of word processing.
