Wishlist

It would be great to see the Tiki Feature to import/export to/from OpenOffice Writer (Btw, the new OOo 2.0 seems to use a new format called OASYS, a standard format that will be the same for KWrite and others...).

• OOo to Wiki -> Could these be achieved by modifying the WordToWiki macro, or something similar? (I'm not coder, I don't know if possible...). Then the info saved as a wiki page in a normal Wiki or through TikiDav feature. Xavi
  • There is a GPL'd Wiki software, called UniWakka, which already has the OOo to Wiki export functions: http://uniwakka.sourceforge.net/OpenOffice2UniWakka. However, I didn't see any webdav related info in their page (Xavi )
  • See a first simple tool to help exporting from OOo to Tiki format:
    • Install Instructions: file attached to this page
    • XML Filter (XLST file): file attached to this page
    • OpenOffice2Tiki In response to the Xavi comment, i think its better to create a new page dedicated to OOo&Tiki
• Wiki to OOo -> There seems to be a very nice bunch of php classes being developed (already functional, v0.3) at: http://phpdocwriter.sourceforge.net. This would be great if anybody could include them as a new feature in Tiki!
  • There is a GPL'd Wiki software, called UniWakka, which already has a feature Wiki to OOo export functions: http://uniwakka.sourceforge.net/BiblioCitation. However, I didn't see any webdav related info in their web page (Xavi )
