-------------------------------------
Summary: [GSoC] CMIS Universal Contet Provider (UCP) for Apache
OpenOffice
Key: COMDEV-78
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-78
Project: Community Development
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Juergen Schmidt
Apache OpenOffice is the leading open source desktop office suite. Our most
recent release has had over 40 million downloads.
OpenOffice used internally a universal content broker [1] to provide access on
file contents. It's a very generic concept and it can be extended by providing
additional content providers (UCP) [2]. Such a UCP can be provided as an
optional extension or bundled directly with the office. It doesn't matter for
the scope of this project and the main idea is to implement a new UCP for
accessing files in a content management system supporting the OASIS standard
CMIS [3].
The scope of this project is:
1. Implement a new CMIS UCP using the Apache Chemistry library [4]
2. Implement a new sidebar panel to provide an easy navigation of CMIS
supporting CMS and the support of some basic CMS typical functions like
check-in, check-put of documents, open and editing of files, versioning etc.
Skills needed:
-- Java programming ("Core Java"), good working knowledge, but don't need to be
a guru or anything
-- open minded to learn something new, the office API and some basic concepts
regarding the underlying component technology
-- open to have fun with one of the biggest open source projects
