+1 from me. I signed up as a mentor and added my name in the proposal. There is a potential synergy with Apache POI and ODFToolkit projects. Openmeetings has a functionality to import office documents and display the thumbnails. Currently it is implemented via a chained transformation first into a PDF using OpenOffice (OO-Service) and then the resulting PDF into SWF by using SWFTools. This can be significantly simplified if all document transformations are done in pure Java.
