[Officeshots] New feature: ODF validators

[Sander Marechal]

Hello everyone,

I am happy to announce an exciting new feature for Officeshots: 
Integrated ODF validators.

Every ODF document that is uploaded is run through several different ODF 
validators. If the converted documents are also ODF documents (when you 
are testing ODF round trips) then those results are also passed through 
these OPDF validators.

The results of the validators are mnade available on the request 
overview, the individual result pages and inside the galleries. 
Galleries now not only show all attached documents but also all results 
and a summary of the validator results. This way it becomes really easy 
to see which documents failed.

The following ODF validators have been integrated:

The Cyclone3 ODF Validator:

Office-o-tron by Alex Brown:

The ODFToolkit validator by Sun:
http://odftoolkit.org/ODFValidator

Attached is an example result of a document that has been round-tripped, 
showing a summary of the validation results. The one thing that show 
immediately is that the various validators do not always agree with 
eachother. Documents that are valid according to one validator may be 
invalid according to another. Some documents (such as the result from 
the old AbiWord versions) can even cause some validators to choke and 
die with errors.

 From that page on you can click through to the individual validator 
outputs so you can see the complete error message.

If there are other validators that you would like to see integrated, 
please post here on the mailinglist.

Have fun!
