[xwiki-devs] [GSoC]how will office importer be integrated into xwiki
Hi devs, As you know, the office importer(or office converter) project for xwiki can convert office documents like MS word, MS excel to xwiki syntax. Furthermore, it can even convert xwiki page to the MS word or PDF. My question: how to integrate the office converter into xwiki? Where should be the integration points for the conversion feature? Following is my proposal and I need you feedback. Thanks. Now the office converter is just a xwiki plugin, and the integration would base on this plugin. a) a converter application. A xwiki application based on office converter plugin and fileupload plugin can import a office document to a new xwiki page. b) a macro like {import} which can convert the office document attached to the xwiki page to html and insert the html code in the page. c) attachment review. Review the office documents attachment. This is similar to the gmail attachment review. d) integrate with xwiki WYSIWYG editor. This is similar to a). Click the import button and select the office document, then click the import button. The document will insert to the current WYSIWYG area. e) export xwiki page to MS word or Openoffice odt. Please feel free to suggest new proposal. Any feedback is very appreciated. Thanks. Wang Ning

b) a macro like {import} which can convert the office document attached to the xwiki page to html and insert the html code in the page.
I would call it {view} or {include} or something else. I would see this as a live include. We should be able also to take just a part of the document or just one of the images.
c) attachment review. Review the office documents attachment. This is similar to the gmail attachment review.
You mean "preview" 3 stars
d) integrate with xwiki WYSIWYG editor. This is similar to a). Click the import button and select the office document, then click the import button. The document will insert to the current WYSIWYG area.
3 stars Also intercept copy/paste of Word/Excel/OpenOffice and send it to the convertor in the Wysiwyg
e) export xwiki page to MS word or Openoffice odt.
2 stars. That would be cool also. There is also export a wiki table to ods/xls f/ import button in the standard xwiki syntax box 2 stars

Hello, What about an office plugin integrated directly to office? You type in Word for example and you have a button "export to XWIki" and it directly sends it to the server which converts it and saves it... It could be linked with the WEBDAV plugin to standardize the export and browsing of documents... When saving a document by WEBDav, it is automatically converted into Wiki (if needed...) I think it could be really interesting even if I don't like office suite but lots of people use it every day :) (I may have seen a confluence plugin doing this)...
