Hello,
Anyone running LibreOffice on a Server?
Appreciate ideas on how to implement some of the MS office features

No idea what features you are looking to implement, but if the goal
is to have your web server generate ODF files natively...
I've found it a lot easier to generate ODFs directly from templates
rather than go through LibreOffice. I've written tools to do this for
me from within Django and Snap but haven't gone to the trouble to
generalize (or clean up) the solution. ODF turns out to be
wonderfully easy to generate, parse, manipulate, etc. and is now the
only XML format that doesn't make me gag.
This might not be at all the direction you are trying to head in, but
if it is a "generate docs/spreadsheets/charts/etc from source data"
type problem don't write off the idea of generating your own from an
extension to your web framework.
If you're looking into generating ODF output from a structured
language (for documentation/publishing purposes) take a look at:
http://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf
Unfortunately, Github broke native asciidoc support for the README, so
you better read that from:
https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf/blob/master/README.asciidoc
Kind regards,
thanks to all for the suggestions
will post back later on the results.
