See my answer to (IIRC) Vladimir. Synthesizing:

* I am already doing the non CMS part of it
* I think it would be wrong to do a monolithic Ooo ->
  (drupal or any other cms) publishing plugin.

??? I didn't try for one moment to do it. I have already
said that in other scenarios the current architectures are
better.

Sometimes one has to start to ask questions just to _find_
 what the right questions to ask are.
I am engaged in different projects. This command line input is something I need only for one of them.

Said this, I find that you too, surely in good faith,
keep missing the points or giving the same answers
which I already commented:

I told you I don't want to enter the same data I already
have in openoffice, and you answer saying "re-enter all
them in the browser"?

With respect to cms usefulness, drupal handbooks and all
the rest of your comments: sorry if I got us side-tracked.
As far as I am concerned, I'll drop that subthread,
we can discuss it some other time.
>From now on, I'd rather discuss on this list only the
missing piece: "how can one import stuff in drupal from
the command line"? Regardless of which and how many scenarios actually need it.

Ciao,
