Hi Roman,
I admit I have read your presentation in fast-forward, but I noticed you
mentioned content (photo, text, audio and video) analysis. Not sure if you
know about it, but maybe you could be interested in Scribo [1][2][3].
It's an open source framework, developed as research project by XWiki SAS
and partners, that focuses on knowledge extraction from unstructured
content. It was finished at the beginning of 2011 and an XWiki integration
[1, minute 10:16] also exists. The integration could use some minor
updating but, eventually, it should end up on 
.
If you are interested, we could use some help in brushing it up and finding
some relevant annotators to wrap or just plug in that would enrich the
XWiki experience.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks,
Eduard

  Hello Ludovic,

   I've prepared a presentation describing my vision of how collaboration

   Hope that effort was not in vain, and you will find something useful
 that will help to make XWiki better.

 I'm not so positive about this. The technology behind the LibreOffice
 Online version is a bit tricky and it's not clear how it will work
 effectively.
 We should wait and see.
 Some thing for Wave, it's not clear how it will be developped in the
 future and it seems that the Google experience had shown that the way they
 mixed Inbox + Editing Documents + Chat was not the correct solution (beyond
 the real time technology in it).
 In any case integrating editors for advanced formats is definitively
 interesting and is something we should look at.  We have the Resilience
 Research Project (starting in 2012) on which it is planned to work on Rich
 Web Editors. More on it will come before the end of the year. It will
 include work on Spreadsheet editors. If anybody knows of good Web based
 editors for popular formats that we should look at, tell us.
 As for real-time this is very interesting also. We have the Wiki 3.0
 project (
https://wiki30.xwikisas.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome in
 French) where XWiki SAS is doing some work with the INRIA LORIA on
 integrating real time in the Wysiwyg editor (with technologies similar to
 Wave). This is work in progress.
 I'd love to hear from our devs and users what they think we should have in
 this area ?

  Hi,
 I think that this is an interesting and valid point. In the same way
 that users can get a preview of OOo-supported attached files right
 now, we could integrate use OOo's upcoming HTML5 version in XWiki
 (when it's ready). From this article:
 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/17/libreoffice_porting_ios_androi
 d_cloud/
 :
 *The LibreOffice Online cloud software is built around HTML5 Canvas
 and the
 GTK+ framework with JavaScript shims, and was developed by SUSE's
 GTK+ Michael
 Meeks and RedHat's Alex Laarson. It allows complex text layout, large
 spreadsheets, WYSIWYG editing, VBA macros, and pivot tables, with the
 server side taking almost the entire processor load.*
 So that would seem to answer your initial issue :-) You could upload a
 .odt file, edit it online from the wiki, save it and it would be
 viewable from the wiki or re-downloadable at will.

 I am not agree with you. Good idea - but realisation - terrible!
 1. Google used some special interface functions - they thinking,
 that 
  these

   2. Try
Wave with Firefox at simple computer (netbook for example) - 
 cannot
  work on big waves (hundred messages)!!! I press
one button and
 waiting 
 3-5
  secunds per each symbol. It is not problem of
notebook - Windows 7,
 MS Office working great and quickly!
 3. Too many errors on scripts - every 5 minutes I got error - script
 bla-bla-bla stopped!
 I have experience with Google Wave with big waves of hundreds waves
 - for this reason I known what I said.
   However it's not the Wave I was trying to promote by this thread,
 it 
 was
  just an example of advanced user interaction
User-to-User and 
 User-to-Wiki:
  advanced documents editing for most popular types
of documents
 (text, spreadsheet, and presentation). I understand the complexity
 of this task (it took 20 years for Microsoft to build their MS
 Office), but the question 
 is:
  I often consider whether to upload a MS Office
file as an attachment
 or maintain the file's content as an XWiki page - and sooner or
 later 
 someone
  will come up with such solution ( Open-source
wiki + Open-Source
 Google Docs
 :) ). So it's not about writing some missing extension - it's about 
 taking
  XWiki to the next level in terms of content
editing.

"collaboration"
  XWiki
  can give to users more and more. For example, as
a small comparison
 with Google Wave:
 - In XWiki you can add "pages" - same in Wave you can add "waves"
 - In XWiki you can write any comments to this page and comments to
 the comments (tree organized).
 - In XWiki you can sent messages inside XWiki
 - In XWiki you can attach any files to this page and you can
 organize 
 view
  content of this files using officeviewer macro,
also existing
 pictire viewing and charts drawing ...
 - In XWiki you can add tasks to this page (exist special macro)
 - In XWiki you can connect this page to other pages (wiki,
 documentation,
 etc)
 - In XWiki you can construct personal dashboards and gadgets
 - Also existing light calculations. If you need more calculations -
 you 
 can
  write own macro ...
 What else exists in Google Wave and don't exists in XWiki? I don't
 know 
 ...
  (maybe another idea of interface). XWiki give you
more - because you
 can add additional macros, add additional functionality (for example
 blogs, 
 forums,
  etc). For this reason, I think, that XWiki is
enought for colaboration.
 Difference from Google Wave - that you need to "construct" in XWiki
 you 
 own
  "application". You can see examples of
such applications:
