hi Fabian,

| * Collaborate with others regardless of which software they are using.
Really?
Why not?
To collaborate with others, we have to agree on using software that supports the same file format and any choice of the format limits the number of applications we can use. That's true for Open Standards, too.
Ok, now I understand. Something like:
* Collaborate with others, although they are using a different software than you.
better? Or do you have another suggestion?
| * Use any software of your choice to interact with your government.
Even if my government would be using Open Standards in measurable quantities, I'd still be limited to software that actually supports those standards.
Yes. I agree. What's your point?
That I can't really chose "any" software.
Have you thought about something like:
* Choose between different software from different vendors to interact with your government.
Best wishes, Matthias
