 * Merge with OpenDocument: This organization seems to have been an important part of ODF's past. I've found a few tidbits:
 * I must comment, however, that simple copying and pasting is not the way to go with this merger. The prose of this article is unprofessional and unsuitable for Wikipedia. flowing dreams (talk page) 07:47, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merge with OpenDocument as this defunct organization seems to have generated little press for standalone notability and is a WP:Permastub. I would agree with User:flowing dreams that a simple copy & paste merger would not work. I think some of the prose can just be cut out. I'm not sure the best way to handle the merger, but it could be done via seamlessly integrating one or more references to the organization into the OpenDocument prose or by cutting and rewriting the OpenDocument Foundation prose into a separate section called Defunct foundation (year-->year) or OpenDocument Foundation (year-->year), perhaps?

 * Actually, I was thinking embedding those details in the Standardization section would do fine. Maybe rename the section to History too. It won't be a cut and paste job, I've already done this once for the Diaspora article. flowing dreams (talk page) 06:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense and sounds reasonable. Thanks! Doug Mehus (talk) 13:25, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
