WebODF on Android

WebODF has an Android port. This port is part of the main WebODF repository. The version is easy to install via the Android Market.

This OpenDocument viewer for Android weighs in at only 47 kilobyte, yet it gives you the ability to view all ODF office files on your Android device.

Tiki Docs

Since version 8.1 of Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware (usually simply called Tiki) was released, it is possible to edit ODF documents in Tiki. This is possible because WebODF has been added to Tiki8 as a new feature, called Tiki Docs.

Tiki can open and show documents with WebODF, but more, it allows editing and saving. Each revision of is stored just like normal wiki pages. This means that you can always go back to earlier versions of the document. Downloading and uploading is also possible if you prefer to edit the documents in a native text editor like Calligra or OpenOffice/LibreOffice.

You can read more about it in the release notes or check out the documentation to see how to set it up in your Tiki instance.

Change tracking with WebODF.

Change tracking demonstration

Change tracking in ODF is being improved. There have been two proposals on the table. To allow evaluation of the one of these proposals, WebODF has been used. Basic support for the proposal was implemented with WebODF in one week. This resulted in a webpage where all test documents can be viewed in a state before and after the change as well as in a united state where the difference are coloured.
