Never, I think.
Yep. I think that this archive discussion from las November
http://www.mail-archive.com/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg00064.html
is relevant
Thanks for replying, Nicolas & Marco... If that is the case, then that
means we will never be able to upload "modifiable" presentations :(
The problem is that most presentations are in PPT format or in ODF
format, and asking users to upload in a new editable format really
limits the number of presentations that can be uploaded and shared.
In theory, we can write some code to scan the files (they are zip
files, so it's not hard to find out what's inside). and limit what
uploaders can put in the ODF files. I think XML and graphic files are
valid file types. May be a few hundred lines of Perl or Python will do
the job... provided that there are helper utilities are available :D
I guess I will check with the ODF guys. BTW, how likely will we enble
ODF upload support if I can come up with such a filter??
