[xwiki-devs] [GSoc 2009] XWiki integration with OpenOffice

Hi! My name is Cristina Scheau , a graduating student in Computer Science at “Politehnica” University from Bucharest. I worked 6 months on .NET framework at http://bsgroup.ro/ , coding in VB.NET (most part) , and in C# some features. I also worked 6 months at http://www.amamobile.com/ as JAVA Programmer. Last summer I was intern at http://www.crestatech.com in Santa Clara, CA, where I developed an application using C and VC++. I’ve also worked at some personal projects using JavaScript, AJAX, HTML,PHP,antlr. I am interested in more Xwiki projects but especially in Xwiki integration with Open Office. I have some questions regarding this topic. 1. For the server side, can one reuse the code from Xword?(or is it desired a totally new implementation?) 2. The project includes also the Xwiki integration with Open Office spreadsheet and presentation or just with OO Writer? Another problem ( i don’t know if this is the right place to post) is that, I suggest a small improvement of UI for Xword. If the user cannot connect to the wiki server (changing the Xword options), a notification message should be displayed. It is a little bit confusing displaying only an empty navigation space and all the action buttons in the ribbon being enabled ( I saw that the buttons issue is set in JIRA so i won’t give details). I mention that I used Xword 1.0.0.66. Thanks in advance, Cristina Scheau
