Hi Wang,
The Office import is very important. This is a requirement more and more
from clients.
Now there is less information on that since it has some prerequisites:
- new rendering module
- new wysiwyg editor
Now I think we are on track to have this for the Summer of Code, so it
would be great to have a good student on this project.
The project is a it complex since it has multiple parts requiring
different technologies:
- one back end part able to convert any content given (from copy paste,
from file, from webservice) to something that can be put in an existing
page.
- one front end in the wysiwyg editor (for copy paste, uploading file
and telling where to import it and in which form). This will be in GWT.
- one front end in xwiki ui to import to a existing or new page
We need to make this modular to be able to have lots of different import
sources.
The ones I think in order of importance are
- MS Word from copy paste
- Excel from copy paste (to wiki table)
- HTML from copy paste
- Any MSOffice or OpenOffice file
- Google Docs
- XML source from HTTP WebService
The highest priority is a great import plugin in Java. Bindings to the
UI can be done later but would be great of course.

Hi,
I'm a graduate student from Institute of Software, China Academy of
Sciences. My major is web service and service compute. I'm family with
SOAP/HTTP web service and we have developed a soap engine. Now we are
improve our engine to support RESTful web service. My major
programming language is java. However, I have experience with linux
shell programming, hibernate. I used spring framework to build the web
interface for our soap engine.
One year ago, I used xwiki for the knowledge sharing system and
collaboration platform in our lab. I did some work for translate Xwiki
to Chinese interface. Furthermore, I discussion some configuration for
using Chinese characters in xwiki.
Now I wanted to import some microsoft word document to xwiki document, but the
wysiwyg editor didn't work so well. Thus, I want to improve it.
However I can't find so many detail information about this project as
other projects, such like Presentation Application project. Does this
mean office import is not so important?
Please reply to me to discuss the relevant facts about this project.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Wang Ning
