[Mediawiki-l] wiki versus Word

[Roxana Craciun]

Hi,
 
Regarding this problem I have two questions:
 
1. Confluence is offering an MSOffice connector, i.e. users are able to import directly word documents as wiki pages. Does anyone know if such thing exists for MediaWiki (GLP or commercial license)?
 
2. @Nina: are you offering to the users a WYSIWYG or are they supposed to create the articles using wikimark-up? In my group, people avoid collaboration due to the fact that they are not willing to take the time and have a look on the editing guidelines.
 
Roxana.

We combine MediaWiki with WebDAV on the same Server.
We use autologin together with ldap/basic auth all over the server, so
there is only one login for each user.
Documents can be uploaded to the DAV directories and linked in the wiki
via http.
