I'd love to collaborate on this, one day, when I have a moment or ten ;-) I want to create a gui for my CMF products, so users who only ever run MSWord will be able to create and mark up content. There's already plenty of DHTML out there to do some of the bits. I think the main effort would be designing a really extensible framework which could layer over Zope in all its future incarnations.
I just emailed to Éric Barroca (eric@barroca.net), he has a product name MSWordDocument which uses wvware to convert word-files to html for zope. I think wvware is really good for this task and it can convert word-files into various format (PDF, Latex, DVI, html, ps wml). It's configurable via xml-files. You just have some tags like
<bold><begin><b></begin><end></b></end></bold>
My Word example was really meant to illustrate the kind of level of computer experience target users have, rather than being literal. But that's *very* cool - I use wvWare but I was unaware that you can customize the output like that. An STX output would be great for starters. I'll look into it - cheers :) seb
