Hi all, I'd certainly be happy to add XWiki to the list of other open source projects that use JODConverter and provide suggestions if needed.
I see you mention xhtml... well the OOo xhtml filter is quite limited currently. For one it doesn't export embedded images[1]. But it's going to see big improvements with OOo 3.0. You may also be interested to know that there's a new major version of JODConverter[2] in development.
