I'd like to propose new extensions for attachments on SlickDeals.net. With OpenDocument (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument)'s recent acceptance by a growing number of organizations and governments, I'd like to see the following extensions allowed:
.odt for word processing documents
.ods for spreadsheets
.odg for graphics
I'm not asking for all ODF extensions, because I think there is a smaller need for others such as:
.odp for presentations
It would be a sign of the times to include these formats, and hosting them takes up less space--if (and WHEN) people want to have an alternate file extension that is bigger (e.g. .odt vs .doc), let them host it themselves.
I have a feeling this suggestion will not be loved by all, but I still think it's worth it.
