AOO as wiki editor?

[Fernando Cassia <fc...@gmail.com>]

Once upon a time, Sun Microsystems created a wiki editor extension for
OpenOffice.org.
I remember reading it worked, and also I remember reading comments
about it stopping working with recent versions of wiki software.

I wonder what is the current status of that extension
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/wikipublisher

And if there are any plans to either update that extension going
forward, or incorporate its functionality into AOO.

I, for instance, would welcome any information as to whether it can be
used to edit SourceForge.net project wikis in WYSIWYG mode....

Thanks in advance,
FC

Fernando,

Thanks for sharing. Using Writer as editor for drafting, managing and
posting social media content is a great way to keep desktop editors
relevant and extend our value proposition.

Open social integration is on the AOO UX radar, and I definitely will
capture this scenario in the wiki. A simple usage scenario describing the
user's goals, and what success looks like could help start the conversation.

Regards,
Kevin

Something as basic as "File->Export-> Wiki->Wikiname"
with "Configure a new Wiki" as sub-option below "Wikiname" (or only option
if no wiki has been previously defined) would do the job.

Likewise, File->Import->Import from Wiki would do the reverse operation
(import a document from an existing wiki). Another option could be
"File->Import->From web page" to directly fetch any web page (rich text and
images, ignoring Flash and anything non-standard) from its URL.

Of course, after it has been successfully "exported" to a wiki, further
"save" operations would "save" to the wiki (it would be really nice if one
could configure somewhere for wiki documents to also be saved locally
automatically as backup copies).

By the way, I have tried the Sun Wiki Publisher extension and couldn' t
make it work with SourceForge.net user project wikis... despite entering
the wiki URL and my SF.Net credentials all the extension does is attempt
connection and then stall...

Fernando,

Leveraging the AOO editor the capture and firmat content makes sense.

Can you share your thoughts on what success looks like in terms of the user
experience? What are the steps you would expect to perform in the editor to
share your content on a wiki?

Thoughts?
