The document introduces ODFKit, an open source library that aims to make it easy for applications to support the Open Document Format (ODF) standard. It discusses how ODFKit will reuse code and infrastructure from the WebKit project to provide a common ODF processing library. The library will include APIs for loading, saving, and parsing ODF files to help new applications quickly add ODF support and improve interoperability. The document provides background on ODF implementations and adoption, and outlines ODFKit's goals, components, relationship to other projects, and initial roadmap.
