ODF@WWW
Bringing ODF and OpenOffice.org into the WWW.

The ODF@WWW project aims to bring the OpenOffice.org suite on the Internet and attempts to define conceptually what should the future OpenOffice.org platform be. This project integrates three different initiatives:

  • the development of companion products for ODF and OpenOffice.org in order to extend their reach into the WWW.
  • a conceptual framework defining the future evolution of OpenOffice.org as a platform called the Pinneberg Files
  • a way for community members to propose new evolutions for the product, that can be transformed into feature proposals through the Request For Enhancements (RFE)

This project has been approved as an Incubator Project and will soon have pages on the OpenOffice.org's web site.

The ODF@WWW project aims to develop companion products for ODF and OpenOffice.org to extend their reach into the WWW. The first planned product is an ODF Wiki, allowing to edit server side ODF documents WYSIWYG with the OpenOffice.org application suite, providing HTML and ODF access via HTTP respectively WebDAV, actually making the WWW as easy editable as classical documents, such as text documents, spreadsheets, presentations or drawings.

This Screencast may give some intuitive understanding of what the ODF@WWW is all about ... (Note: This screencast is also in hires 720p available.)

Currently on its way is a first Milestone. A prototype is available and may be installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions.
