[Officeshots] interoperability testing

[Milos Sramek]

Hi all,

I've not written to this list for some time...

Perhaps there is a chance in Bratislava to set up a Windows machine with 
running MSO 2007/10/13 for our testing purposes. If you find that 
interesting, I  can ask Microsoft representatives here in Bratislava, if 
they would be willing to donate the necessary licenses.

Regarding the officeshots API: would it be possible to use it also to do 
other types of conversions, not only odf->odf->pdf? Currently, within a 
larger project, I work on a user study, which would enable for 
quantitative  evaluation of a "level of interoperability" between office 
applications on the basis of various document standards. The study is 
based on automated conversion of documents (similar to the officeshots 
framework, only running locally). Conversion by AOO, LO an Google Docs 
is already implemented this way (not a big deal, GD using their API). I 
would, however like to convert the documents also by MSO. I hope that 
using the officeshots API and the above mentioned machine it would be 
possible.

Cheers,
Milos
