Implementation

Project Requirements Need for collaborative means for creating presentations Methods for editing, correcting and annotating presentations by a third-party Familiar and user friendly environment of a Wiki Quick online collaborative content editing (with support for editing history)

Results (I) Two scenarios: –Annotation of slides and presentations on wiki –Creating and editing slides on wiki Annotation/commenting features –Commenting of slides, chapters and presentations –Export of comments to ODP OpenOffice.org's limitations

Results (II) Import and export of presentation elements –Images –Tables –Text –Lists –Retaining original formatting Text styles Background image Layout

Results (III) Editing slides –Presentation elements stored on wiki –Presentation file stored on wiki –WYSIWYG and manual editing –Creating new presentation elements on wiki –Removing existing presentation elements on wiki, even permanently (images) Slide and presentation file immediately refreshed

Results (IV) Creating slides –Same as editing, except there are no existing presentation elements Other features: –Editing of images on wiki –Deleting slides on wiki –Categorization of presentations –Built-in security

Results (V) More features –Custom tags syntax highlighting –Predefined slide layouts –WYSIWYG editing mode –Configurable upload of presentations –Presentation slideshow –Deleting presentations and related content –Entertainment while waiting

Architecture (I) Presentation Content Wiki article Comments File_talk page Content Wiki article Comments File_talk page ODP file File page Slide Screenshot Image page

Architecture (II) Save page Generate intermediary XML Parse wiki markup Generate new wiki markup Save markup Refresh slide

Possible Improvements More styles More layouts XSL transformations –Detection of currently unsupported elements Markup parser –Detection of currently unsupported elements Detection of changes on a frame level
