How to create a table in a Text document?

[buhtz]

I want to create OpenDocumentText files with some tables in it.

I'm looking for an example about how to do this. Does anyone have an idea about that?

[buhtz]

Maybe the example here can help.

I have mentioned the same in stack overflow . Happy to reply you for the 3rd time. I have done a very depth research on this thing. If you are interested, we can make a team and start a documentation page for odfpy or fork it and continue further developments. What say.

Dear @desmarty ,
please note #123 and #100 where is a discussion about status and possible future of the project and repo.
I also contacted @bufke and @sorenroug by Email. @bufke answered on the Issue thread and @sorenroug answered by Email.

But then I didn't get another reaction from them before the discussion about the future of the project could start.

I don't know which one of them have admin rights to the repo.

I'm interested but don't have resource for that, sorry. I have other projects to maintain and there is also a job, academic career and privat life. 🏠 😄

But please let me add some thoughts about that

• It would be the best if the admin of this repo would add more users with admin rights. I call this a friendly take over. This would keep Issues, PRs, links from outside, etc That is how I did it with two other guys at Back In Time project.
• There are tones of forks on GitHub. None of them seems to be active maintained. But maybe some of them have had added interesting features. So it would be good to contact all of them and motivate them to join this repo and invest there resource in here.
• I would suggest to establish a developer mailing list to give "some oil into the fire". python.org or maybe opendocumentfoundation does over a mailing list for related projects.
• From my experience with other projects and "friendly take over" I can say that the main problem isn't the lake of time or knowledge but the burden of responsibility. If there are more people in a project the burden fells less heavy, even if none of the members is a full professional.
• I assume that in the context of open document there is a big community that just waits to be activated to join that project.

If this project does get a new "drive and energy" I'm also willing into investing some time into it; maybe reviewing PR's, joining discussions on the mailing list and offering my experience (and little expertise).

Would be great if all of you could join the "discussion" in #123.

To be perfectly clear - I do not have access to this GitHub repo, I am not affiliated with this project, I have never read the source code nor contributed, I do not know sorenroug and I cannot help you contact sorenroug. I couldn't tell you what EEA even stands for and certainly have no affiliation. Please do not @ mention me for things that I simply cannot help with.

My personal advice would be to fork the repo and make a new pypi project. If sorenroug or someone at the EEA wishes to later collaborate I'm sure you could merge the work at that time.

Thanks for clearing this out.
