[xwiki-devs] Openoffice sdk client need openoffice runtime to run

[Ludovic Dubost]

Hi,

The remote server is the right approach. I've been thinking for a while 
that we should propose a server hosted by XWiki that would do that and 
give installations instructions for those wanting to run such a server 
internally.

You should build a very nice simple REST api for this server.
