It's not done but is possible. We have an interface for the storage so provided you implement that interface you can swap the storage. The implementation to use is configurable in the xwiki.cfg file. We even have different possibles storages for documents, attachments, etc. #-# Role hints that differentiate implementations of the various storage components. To add a new implementation for one #-# of the storages, implement the appropriate interface and declare it in a components.xml file (using a role-hint other #-# than 'default') and put its hint here. # #-# The main (documents) storage. # xwiki.store.main.hint=default #-# The attachment storage. # xwiki.store.attachment.hint=default #-# The document versioning storage. # xwiki.store.versioning.hint=default #-# The attachment versioning storage. Use 'void' to disable attachment versioning. # xwiki.store.attachment.versioning.hint=default #-# The document recycle bin storage. # xwiki.store.recyclebin.hint=default #-# The attachment recycle bin storage. # xwiki.store.attachment.recyclebin.hint=default > I read something about Office (Openoffice/Word?)
