Being able to publish directly to Drupal from OOo would be great for usability. Drupal implements an XLMRPC interface that as I understand it allows blog publishing software to edit and save posts. On May 14, 2008, at 9:35 PM, Louis Suarez-Potts wrote:
Hello all!
Allow me to introduce myself: I'm the community manager of OpenOffice.org, a role I've held for the last 7.5 years. My interest here is to see if there is interest in developing an OpenDocument Format filter for Drupal or (better yet) some ways of integrating or at least linking OOo to Drupal. The reason? Lots, including both public and private enterprises, want a CMS + productivity suite (such as OOo) combo. Drupal has huge market share and is flourishing; so does and is OOo.
How is integration imagined? It could be close or it could be even something as simple as an extension. We have now many extensions, and there is no reason why everything has to be a single package-- this is the Internet age, not the isolated desktop age.
If people are interested, let's talk. My guess is that an obstacle to good intentions is reality: shortage of resources. But I also am relentlessly optimistic and hopeful, and believe if we can present a good case then companies may want to allocate those resources, which is to say, people and money.
Ciao,
Louis
