AODL moved ot http://odftoolkit.org/projects/aodl

As of June 2009, AODL is moved to http://odftoolkit.org/projects/aodl

The AODL2 project was accepted as a normal project at odftoolkit.org, and from now on all the services will be provided there. The reason to do this was to ensure that all related projects to the spread of Open Document are in the same place.

Google code site will be left for reference purposes only for some time, later it will be removed to save google disk space :)
