Yes I'm not saying in any case it should replace the office macro.
I's just an alternative. We can't package it anyway since the llicense is
not compatible, we could just distribute it on extensions.xwiki.org.
Though it remains interesting and something to watch. It's possibly not
mature enough yet, but the take is interesting. They plan to add (limited)
support for editing documents in the future. It's also something you could
use if for whatever reason you run in an environment without an OOo server.

Slightly off-topic : I've seen a presentation
of WebODF (
http://www.webodf.org/) at FOSDEM, which would allow to create an office
viewer macro that does not require an OOo server. Drawback is that it
does
not support MS Office files, just ODF files.
There are other drawbacks too:
* AGPL licence. If I understood correctly AGPL licence extends GPL only
with the ability to use the code for creating a service over a network.
So AGPL licence is still viral if you want to distribute the code. This
makes WebODF suited for creating web services rather than for being
packaged in a web application.
* it relies on JavaScript and thus on client machine. Some of the
examples from their demo page make my Firefox hang for a while. For some
I even get the popup to stop the script because it runs for too long.
* it relies heavily on CSS to make the result look as much as possible
like the original ODF document. Because of this the result looks
different across different browsers. Combined with the fact that they
sink the XML content of the ODF document in the HTML content it makes
the page heavy.
* doesn't work in IE at all and some examples don't work in Chrome.
Besides this, one advantage of using the OpenOffice server (our current
approach) is that the result is better integrated into the wiki page.
Office viewer relies on office importer. When you view an office
document using the office viewer macro you view in fact how the office
document would look like if it were imported into the wiki page.
Thanks,
Marius
