Hello,
Anyone running LibreOffice on a Server?
Appreciate ideas on how to implement some of the MS office features on a

No idea what features you are looking to implement, but if the goal is to
have your web server generate ODF files natively...
I've found it a lot easier to generate ODFs directly from templates rather
than go through LibreOffice. I've written tools to do this for me from within
Django and Snap but haven't gone to the trouble to generalize (or clean up)
the solution. ODF turns out to be wonderfully easy to generate, parse,
manipulate, etc. and is now the only XML format that doesn't make me gag.
This might not be at all the direction you are trying to head in, but if it
is a "generate docs/spreadsheets/charts/etc from source data" type problem
don't write off the idea of generating your own from an extension to your web
framework.
If you're looking into generating ODF output from a structured language
(for documentation/publishing purposes) take a look at:
http://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf
Unfortunately, Github broke native asciidoc support for the README, so
you better read that from:
https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf/blob/master/README.asciidoc
