I know that OO now can *export* to the (media)wiki format.

But I am not aware that it can import as well.

Does anybody know about that tool. Since there are real collaborative
tools within OO, that would be helpful.

thanks

Hi,

Actually there was some email exchanged on the extension-dev mailing list today on that subject.

This is something a lot of us are very interested in.

There have been some attempts at creating a MediaWiki to ODT/XML converter. There is one here: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/wiki2xml/php/ (this is the source tree) that almost works. I have it installed in a test Wiki (it shows up as a new item in the Wiki Special pages menu) and have tinkered a little with it. It works, but it is very rudimentary. You can convert a single Wiki page or a set of Wiki pages to ODT and you do get an ODT out of the process. It needs a fair bit of rework to make it usable for everyday workflows though.
