Webdav and Aqua version

Webdav is an important demand, because people appreciate to work remotely on their documents.

This is e.g. true for Education world.

This is now (partially) possible using Aqua version of OpenOffice.org. The counterpart is you must use OpenOffice.org FilePicker, because the Aqua one has problems ( there is work in progress to fix that).

To help people interested to test this feature, I wrote a documentation, available in both english and french. Many thanks to Graham Perrin for the corrections in the english version, and Mathieu Lalanne for the server, who helped for the tests.

URL for download the Documentation is : Webdav documentation (both .pdf and .odt file formats)

Todo: make all possibilities work, including using the Aqua Filepicker

Rencontres de l'Orme (Marseille, France). First day

Well arrived in Marseille for Rencontres de l'Orme event. Nice weather. Hotel is correct. Just the road to the event is a bit long.

The first evening was nice: great confs, a lot of nice progress. Nice to discover how Egyptian school (very similar to our in fact) is organized.

After the -kind- coktail, I walked a bit in Marseille streets. My hotel is near "La Canebiere". Lot of activity the night 8-) Last time I went to Marseille was 1989. Was a Chess tournament .

Presentations start tomorrow. Too much of interesting topics. Will be difficult to choose with such a good agenda.
