ODP
After trying a lot of combinations I found these manual steps resulted in a pretty good conversion of a large (100 slide) OO Impress file into MediaWiki syntax (for the results, see v:User:Jtneill/Sandbox/odp to txt3 ):
 * Using OO Impress, save odp as ppt
 * Using MS PPT, save ppt as rtf
 * Using OO Writer, save rtf as html
 * Using OO Writer, export html as mediawiki syntax (txt)
 * Using a text editor, open txt and search and replace:
 * -> == and -> ==
 * # -> * (if you want bullets rather than numbers)
 * â€™ -> '
 * â€˜ -> '
 * â€ ->
 * â€“ -> -
 * ïƒŸ -> <
 * ïƒ -> >
 * â€œ -> "
 * â€ -> "

Note that this approach does not include: i.e. it just provides the viewable slide headings and text
 * Images
 * Notes

PDF

 * pdf to MW syntax works OK-ish with OO Writer
