What is the OpenDocument Fellowship?

OpenDocument Fellowship is a volunteer organisation with members around the world. Its goal is to promote the adoption, use and development of the OpenDocument format .

How we sponsor the Fellowship?

To Fellowship's request we implemented ODF validator into Cyclone3 as extensions. More information about this extension you can found at its documentation.

I'm very pleased to announce an public ODF validation service at:
http://odfvalidator.cyclone3.org,
and for Fellowship available at:
http://opendocumentfellowship.org/validator

Service is powered and hosted by Cyclone3.org.

Similar to the W3C validation service for HTML, you can use this website to verify a document's compliance with the OpenDocument Format.

The validator can detect violations of the spec, and it can also give warnings for things that are not violations but should raise an eyebrow. Some warnings actually relate to known bugs in OOo (technically valid files which OOo can't open). As time goes by we'll add more warnings and update resolved ones.

The validation engine was originally written Alex Hudson as part of the Fellowship's ODF Tools project and by Cyclone3 developers who implemented it into Cyclone3 quickly.

Daniel Carrera: "I've been wanting a validator for months, but our server just couldn't take the additional load. Enter the kind people at Cyclone3 who are providing a server to run the validation service. A big round of applause for them! And thanks to Roman Fordinal of Cyclone3 for developing the web application from Alex's validator."
