Dev Group,

I would like to build a distributed application where classroom students will get Impress presentation page updates when the instructor/professor advances his copy of the presentation. For instance, the professor maintains the original copy of the lecture in Impress presentation, but she does not want the students to be able to see future slide only past and present slides. When she advances her copy, a message is sent to a remote server with the current page and the server will broadcast that page to all students.

I am new to OpenOffice, have been poking around in forums, wikis, and source for a couple of weeks and am ready to invite all suggestions to the brilliant minds who subscribe to this mailing list. I have XXX questions that are stumping me.

1) Is it possible to store individual presentation pages in a Database? Do I need to filter on Import/Export?

2) Each student will maintain only a slideshow of the current 'view' of the presentation. Is it possible to insert single pages into a slideshow at runtime? How do I maintain a local reference to the slideshow on each students computer?

Thank you,
