Hi,
I don't have the developer skillz.
Otherwise I'd be happy to help out any way I can, e.g. tracking issues
and requests, digging into ODT format, replicating bugs and testing
patches on a more systematic basis.
(The latter two assuming I can root out the setup/installation weirdness
that seems to affect my local ODT export.)
I see Jambunathan has placed his patches in the public domain under a
GPL-compatible CC0 license. Other considerations aside, doesn't that
mean they could be applied in Org?
Yours,
Christian

For the rest I would hope that you can watch the mailing list and Emacs bug reports for issues related to this backend and try to fix them, obviously with support from the mailing list. Also,maybe there are ideas for additional functionality?
