[xwiki-devs] [Usability] Office Server configuration values
Hi devs, We have users that complain that configuring and starting the Office Server is very hard/technical. This is mostly because the configuration is done in xwiki.properties, plus some bugs, plus the missing documentation link towards the Office Server operating system values. I've made 2 proposals on http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/IdeaOfficeServer The first one just makes some rearranging, adds a documentation link and propose we fix some bugs by adding support to newer versions of Office (in order for the auto-detect to function properly). The other proposal also transforms the configuration from read-only values, to inputs that can be changed from Administration. Let me know what you think, Caty
Hi, We also discussed on some chat that we should modify our fork and instead use/merge the fork from. Maybe Thomas remembers which fork it was? Thanks -Vincent

Yes the first thing to do IMO to improve office module is http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15031. On Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 5:16 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) <[email protected]> wrote:
