Do you know that we have a MS Office plugin so that people can edit their wiki pages directly from word?
Actually I don't know if this plugin supports offline writing or not. It's not listed on http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ WebHome as a feature.
Florin?
This seems a bit off-topic. There is no explicit offline support, but the user is free to save as many local drafts before publishing the page/document. Local path and document format changes are allowed. Regarding the menus, it would be great if we could add entries that could permit editing with XEclipse, XOffice or XOO depending on the user's system. Unfortunately I don't see how this can be done without some kind of bowser extensions.
Thanks -Vincent
Thanks Vincent. Yeap, I've been following this development, but I've not tried it yet. In fact, I would prefer any option not involving Word. Word, what for? I know, I know, it could be a quite useful piece of software, but when writing scientific papers it is arguable its usefulness.
I can easily figure out a much simple tool, a collaborative edition tool, focused on collaboration. Something like SPAWN (http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SPAWN) will be greatly welcome although I would like to add off-line edition to the "Required Features" list.
In any case, to have such an alternative will be great. But perhaps it will greatly rely on the Windows/Mac/Office releases installed on a given box. But of course I can not day that without testing it!
Cheers,
Ricardo
