Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] Idea about OOo integration

[Gustavo M. <gmu...@gm...>]

Launch OOo as the wysiwyg editor of TW?

Have a few problems:
- local program, the client must have it installed to be able to
launch it (java/javascript/.net/activex/whatever are loaded from web,
and java/javascript even more multiplataform than OOo)
- The elephant stampede effect for moving a chair? :) not sure how
heavy are the available java wysiwyg editors for i.e. html, and
workse, wiki have a simpler "feature set", but loading OOo is not very
nice with time/disk activity/disk space/memory, to fix ideas orders
more than launching i.e. jgraphpad.

Now, that could exist a way to drag and drop formatted text from
openoffice into the wysiwyg editor (saw someone doing something
similar in msie/mambo/msword i think), or an easy way to importa a OOo
document or other kind of documents, that could be reasonable.
