[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

I think that given the considered timeframe, the project would only encompass XWiki integration with OOWriter. Guillaume

Both XWord and XOO should not have specific code on the server. These Office extensions should use the REST or XML-RPC API, from which we call functionalities provided by redenderer, syntax converted, html cleaner, etc. XWord is switching to XML-RPC and hopefully will drop the server package after version 1.0 M2. The server functionalities needed for the XOO plugin are already in the platform, what we need to do now is enriching the API with the new features.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll have the time to put some UI improvements in Milestone 2. When you find a bug and it already has a jira issue assigned to it, you can always vote for it, so that it will be fixed faster. This can help us setting our priorities.
Thanks for your interest, Florin Ciubotaru
