This seems to be the natural continuation of Document Freedom Day... Not sure if the two are related.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I see no mention of Access. I would think there'd be a significant need for that.

Access doesn’t really have “documents” as such. Its a relational database, with tables full of records.

(Not that I disagree with the general idea: it would be great to have solid tools for migrating old Access databases to something open. I have no idea whether these exist or how good they are.)
