Hi devs,
I am Shelan Perera 3rd Year university Student of University of Moratuwa Sri
Lanka who is currently an intern in Open Source Web Services Solutions
developing company( WSO2).I am interested in participating in Google Summer
of code this year and conducted a research on Xwiki and specially on Xwiki
Office Importer.
I am glad to see a project using Open Office Server (which is currently
managed inside the Office Importer module) to export to word and pdf.
When i used the Office Importer i realised that it is really necessay to
have Open Office Process as a Separate Utility module which is consumed by
Open Office Importer and Open Office Exporter.Since the current
implementation is okay since there is only importer module.
I hope that this potential architectural change is not actually
observable by simple usage of the importer ;) Yes this is something that
probably needs to be done if we want to use OOo for export and preview too.
I am not clear about the suggested way of
implementation(whether it is a
nested module in the office importer or a separate module).Could you please
elaborate more on that.
This is something you need to decide in tight collaboration with Asiri
and the rest of the community. It is best that you create a design page
for your proposal(to be determined where) and regularly come back to the
mailing list for opinions.
To see how the module evolves you should also follow Asiri's work on the
office preview feature during the 2.3 dev cycle.
