FWIW, I operate an Alfresco platform for the LibreOffice project. It is currently being used principally by the LibO English docs team. If there was any testing of a CMIS plugin for A-OOo/LibO, you'd be very welcome to do it there, where there's an existing, live platform and a live pilot user population. There has recently been a mail thread going between a couple of leading people at Alfresco, a couple of LibO devs and the leading admins of the LibO Alfresco platform, notably discussing a plugin to interact with Alfresco. The conclusion was that although there is a related dormant project on the Alfresco Forge, it would be better to start work afresh and target a generic CMIS plugin that works with Alfresco (and that hopefully could also work with Microsoft Sharepoint, too). So there are at least a couple of LibO devs who could be interested in contributing to this. I think the main impediment to actually getting design & development rolling is achieving a critical mass of developers to actively work on it. I'm not a dev myself, but I'm taking every chance to agitate towards the initiative, and will be happy to be actively involved as well (liaison, testing, documentation, etc.). Is there anyone else interested in actively making this project happen? -- David Nelson
