Hi devs,
I started writing an Add-in for Microsoft Word that could be a part of
our Office integration strategy.
In the next period I'm going to spend 50% of my time on developing this,
here at XWiki Romania.
The technology I use is .NET + VSTO. Yes, I know that .NET it's not in
XWiki's area, but this technology is very powerfull and it can bring an
advantage for our platform.
Here is the design page:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/MicrosoftOfficeAddin
Please read it and give me some feedback.
It's hard to give feedback at this moment, since a lot of server
technologies are not ready yet (mostly in early alpha or beta). The best
advice is to keep everything modular, putting the code that transfers
documents to and from the wiki behind a small interface, so that it will
be easy to switch to a different back-end.
I think you could look at how XEclipse works (from the user's
perspective) to see how another remote client behaves, so that you can
get some more ideas.
