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.
You can use
OpenOffice.org (OOo) to import/export docs to/from a
MediaWiki.
To export documents to Wiki you can use the Wiki Publisher extension for
OOo:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/wikipublisher
(adds a Send - MediaWiki Server menu item and dialog to help publish the
document on a MediaWiki).
To export from Wiki back to OOo, you can use the Collections Extension:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection
I use both on the OOo Wiki
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Main_Page (although I haven't
used the WikiPublisher extension for a while now). The Collections
extension to export to ODT gets used a lot on the OOo Wiki,and works
quite nicely.
