Document assembly from "parts," document management, workflow engine based on jBPM, < http://www.jboss.com/products/jbpm>, Apache Lucene (full text search) and Cocoon under the hood. Links can be, inter alia, hyperlinks or embedded queries with recursive includes. It can even produce books in batch mode. ODT isn't enabled out of the box, but the work is done. It's being used in other Cocoon-based CMS, e.g., Apache Lenya and Forrest. Ditto for Lucene, which is doing the indexing and full text search in the Alfresco ERP solution. IIRC, activating the ODT support in Lucene takes about a 40-line patch. It's well buried on the Lucene site, but I found it a year or so ago. Extensible and scriptable with the usual Java culprits. And lots more.
I've been playing with it. This goes way beyond anything that can be done with a client-side office suite.
