What I'm proposing is having the files stored in Open Document Format

have all the details thought through - I think it an idea worth
investigating/discussing.
I'd rather have something as full-featured as MediaWiki up and running
as a centralized wiki for OpenOffice.org straight away than wait for a
new system like this.
Agreed!
It may be better to then write a plugin to MediaWiki to allow Writer to
edit the files and send them back but surely most OOo people have a web
browser? I don't understand what makes using Writer better than using
the Wiki editor
Compared to the full featured editing environment that Writer provides a
Wiki editor is crude. Please don't get me wrong, I like wikis and am
strongly in favour of them, that is why I started the wiki on writing
OOo extensions: ext.openoffice.org.nz. It is just that I see the Open
Document Format as being an opportunity to dramatically improve the
usability of interactive web content.
I haven't investigated writing plugins for MediaWiki. I think it would
would be easy to modify my DokuWiki macro to produce the somewhat crude
text file format for MediaWiki:

Agreed, all OOo users/developers will have a browser, and all computer
users don't have OpenOffice. But, all OOo developers will have OOo and
this makes it an ideal place to experiment with using the Open Document
format as a standard for interactive web content for things like wikis.
Sounds good
