Hi Eduard,
   Thanks for the input!
   I never knew that such tools existed :) that is a great addition to wikis - being able
to identify "what" the content is and automagically cross-link the content.
  One remark though - the information must exist before this tool can be applied :)
   E.g. for past 2 years of constant usage our wiki counts only ~650 documents (this is
for 7 projects). The information there is well-structured ... or at least
full-text-searchable.
   However. We keep our technical designs, WBSs and diagrams outside wiki, as separate
documents updated by different tools like MS Office, Visio, Gliffy etc - simply because
they provide a richer set of functionality and greater productivity because of being
purpose-specific. I'm not mentioning all information that is kept in emais, skype logs
and the one that's usually lost each time we ended a Skype or a conference call.
   That means currently for my projects it's more important to be provisioned with
tools which would bloat the wiki content generation.
Regards,
  Roman
PS: Maybe if I get enough enthusiasm and time I'll even try to create a Named Entity
Recognizer to work with our business domain - to be able to provide richer and better
cross-linked wiki pages to future newbies of our projects. When that day comes - I will
know whom to contact for questions ;)

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

   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_andr
 oi
 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:
