Hi, all,
Hi Morten, I'm moving this over to the dev list.
I manage the bibliography manager project JabRef (http://jabref.sf.net). One of our most-requested features is interoperability with Openoffice, and I really want to do something about that.
We would like to make it easier for third-party applications to plug-in as well. You might want to take a look at what we're planning, as we have it with the idea of facilitating integration.

Currently we have a spreadsheet export option that produces a spreadsheet that can be used as bibliography data source in OOo 1.x.It seems to me that a spreadsheet cannot be used in this way under OOo 2.0. Am I correct, or is this still possible (if so, how do I set it?)? As far as I know there are two other options that we could consider: 1. Communicating directly via the OOo socket (UNO) 2. Offer a database export that OOo can use For either of these cases I need support - someone who can help me understand how things work on the OOo side (or who can point out a better alternative than those I listed). OpenOffice is a fairly complicated product, so I think some inside help is necessary to get the best possible solution. I hope someone is able and willing to help!
It sort of depends if you want to try integrate with the current context, or to help us move forward with the new plan (which we hope would make it much easier). There would be long-term strategic benefits all around, I think, if you chose the latter.
