Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone here is running a headless openoffice daemon in 
production or pilot in conjunction with Sakai (or even with different 
project).  I'm curious about how you've added it to your deployment 
setup, whether you run it on the same node as Sakai or on a different
node.

It's something I'm investigating to fill in some functionality, and 
curious how others have gotten it into their deployment environments, 
since it's more than just a jar file to ram into tomcat.

Apache POI is nice for really specific tasks, but for anything that 
needs to keep some aesthetics and be more general it seems to be the
way 
to go.  Google uses it for stuff, and other open source projects (like

Etherpad) use it as an engine for exporting things in various office 
formats and PDF's.

What I'm currently looking at is allowing instructors in Assignments 2

to optionally edit student feedback offline in a format other than HTML

and then upload that and have the conversion be halfway decent. (which

OO.org is pretty good at).

Cheers,
Steve
