For anyone who missed it, OpenDocument mimetypes are now official and fully registered at IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority). You can find them here:

Search for "vnd.oasis.opendocument".

Tell Apache to support ODF!

The next step is for the world's most popular web server to recognize ODF files and send them with the correct mimetype. Without this, products like the Firefox plugin will not work. I'll explain:

The Firefox plugin says to Firefox "when you see a file of this type, give it to me and I'll show you how to render it". But what happens if the web server doesn't send the ODF file with the right mimetype? Then Firefox doesn't know that it's ODF, so it never calls the plugin :-P So instead it calls the download mananger.

Apache is the dominant web server in the world. Please go to the Apache Bugzilla issue and vote for this issue!

Heh... maybe we should do another Demand ODF petition like we did with Microsoft :-)
