[xwiki-devs] My ideas for betterment of xwiki Office.
Respected Sir/Madam, I want to contribute into the xword project by developing a feature,this year in Gsoc-2011. I have a couple of ideas , which i personally feel that,if implemented shall prove in easy interaction with the word document file, and its accessibility.The ideas are listed below- IDEA-1 Apart from various options available in word processors, there exists few gulfs in the original hard paper writing and word processor typing. Many a times and often when we type some text in the word processor, it needs some real world looks and feels (an informal approach) ,for example when we study or make notes what we do is we underline the things make circles around the word make arrows around the pages- linking that after reading this where we have to jump, etc, in short we do some free hand sketching work there. If there exist a tool in the word application where we can enable a drawing pencil ,to do the similar tasks then interaction with the document can be made more realistic and handy to use . IDEA-2 In a traditional word applications when we save our document, the window that opens up, asks the name of the file, its type and the location of saving. If the word processor would scan the document and pick up a list of words/sentences that occurred maximum number of time along with the above mentioned options then user may get an additional feature that may help him in selecting the most promising name for his file. Looking forward to hear from you. -- Rahul Vaish http://in.linkedin.com/in/rahulvaish

I don't quite understand, these are suggestions of projects? Have you looked at the projects list? Didn't you found anything interesting? http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/

Regarding IDEA1, we have annotations http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Annotations+Application not quite, but close.
IDEA-2 In a traditional word applications when we save our document, the window that opens up, asks the name of the file, its type and the location of saving. If the word processor would scan the document and pick up a list of words/sentences that occurred maximum number of time along with the above mentioned options then user may get an additional feature that may help him in selecting the most promising name for his file.
in XWiki the process goes a bit the other way. You first establish the name of the page and then you start writing the context, so this use case is not how it usually happens. Maybe we will change this by having randomly generated page names in the future, but the ability to have custom page names is a plus. Thanks, Caty
