Extension:Open Office Export

Sorry, but development of OO-export has stopped You may find Extension:Pdf Export useful instead. --Nad 09:14, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Development
Development has been moved out of MediaWiki into a PERL environment now, as we have been finding the browser-based client-server environment too restrictive. Development of the PERL environment is now peer.home

Purpose
Many people are wanting to collaborate on documents which can then be printed. We needed this functionality too for printing our wiki documents as booklets, so I wrote this Open Office Export extension for our wiki.

All the code is available, but its part of a larger extension called XmlWiki and makes use of another extension called document.php so it may be difficult getting it up and running on other MediaWiki's. You're most welcome to sign up and use it in place if you like.

Open Office is now using OpenDocument format which has been developed by OASIS but is based on the original Open Office XML file format. OASIS also develop DocBook.
