Re: [documentliberation-discuss] two docx conversion test results on LibreOffice

Hi D,

In order to make the submission easier and to easily associate the meta 
data to the files, a simple submission form would be best. The page 
would clearly state that submitted files have to be CC-BY-SA, and ask 
the relevent questions that are needed, and finally they would check a 
box approving that they approve. On submission a folder is created, the 
meta data is save in a file and the submitted files are saved in the 
same folder.
