+1. FOP developers don't have the time or desire to maintain the RTF
output, so it's unlikely to improve. RTF is a limited format.
On the other hand it is the only editable file format that XWiki can
provide standalone. Some users do like the ability to get out a document
they can edit, but I guess it's OK to only expose this feature when an
OO backend is configured.

Hi,
Our RTF export has never been very good and is even crashing depending on the reader you
use (see for example http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-5251 ).
I propose to drop the RTF support without OO
Rationale:
* If a user really needs it he can make it work with an OO server connected to xwiki
* RTF is not really a mainstream format
* I don’t think we want to invest in fixing our RTF export
Here’s my +1
Thanks
