[Owncloud] Re: WebODF integration into ownCloud

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Matthew,

this sounds great. A WebODF integration is an important feature.


I suggest to make this an ownCloud Plugin/App.
A user should be able to click on a ODF file in the ownCloud filebrowser and select "edit".
A WebODF view should open and allow to view and edit the file.

Loading and saving should use the ownCloud filesystem abstraction so that we benefit from features like versioning and backup.

ownCloud would be the first solution which enables the user to edit the same file in LibreOffice/Caligra and in the Browser.
Thats very cool.


Cheers
Frank
