Hi David,
 
Funny enough, one of the things I'm intending to do is the reverse of your own problem: to bring in data from applications such as Excel Word, and other applications (most likely using my own app for the proprietary data we have floating around still).
This is just a guess, so don't take as gospel:
I think, given than the Scriptom features allow you to talk to almost any com server (examples in the groovy book talk about excel and word, so that's -almost- a given); you should be able to create something to do what you want, in a less manual fashion.

Hi Brandon
 
What are you planning to do with Scriptom/Jacob?  I haven't tried yet - but was wondering if it would be a good/better way of getting Wiki content into MS Word.
 
I work in a software development shop - and management is leery of keeping long lived important information on our Wiki.  They would prefer to move stuff out into Word.  We have looked at some translator tools - but nothing suits us.  So far we have just done clumsy copy/paste.  Would be better if we could get an automated solution that worked for us.

Subject: [xwiki-users] Adding Groovy add-ons..

Hi folks,

Looking at applying some of the add-ons to Groovy to allow some extra functionality (most likely starting with Scriptom/JACob).  I have some questions though:

1) As I understand it, there are some tightened security changes for XWikiBeta5 and above (not running in our test environment yet).   How will this affect Xwiki going forward (eg, will this be restricted in some way from xwiki in future)?

2) Where is the standard Groovy library path for xwiki (doesn't seem to be any groovy folders under the xwiki application)?
