Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal]Create a Microsoft Word Add-in to handle XWiki integration

Dragă Florin, A few preexisting systems to consider/look at: http://www.pdfonline.com/ http://casesblog.blogspot.com/2005/08/blogger-for-word-publish-to-web-from.… http://www.openxmlcommunity.org/daisy/ Unfortunately, when using Word for web-publishing directly, it seems to bloat the structured document terribly ( http://www.uwec.edu/help/Webpub/wordweb.htm ); also there's issues with conversion to UTF-8 ( http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/cis/webpublishing/81434.htm ) or foisting nonstandard charsets like Windows-1232 on web-viewers. Cutting/pasting between word and Xwiki, Roller or other rich-text capable web-editors seems to work nicely. It's too bad one can't automate the "cut/paste" of the data that flows through the windows GUI between Word and Web-Browser, but instead, directly saves an Xwiki doc... Maybe it's just a matter of having a service on the Xwiki-end that saves an RTF document as an Xwiki doc, combined with a simple plugin on the Word-end to invoke the data-translation which normally occurs during cut/paste.
