However installing the Sun MediaWike extension in AOO 3.4.1 got further towards working than it did in AOO 4.1.3.
In 4.1.3 when you go to options and try to add the connection to the OpenOffice wiki it just grays out the input box and never tries to make the connection. With 3.4.1 it attempts to make a connection and fails with the error message A connection could not be created because the URL is invalid. This corresponds to https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=115449. Since the wiki uses a redirect to https this could be the reason it does not work in 4.1.3 or 4.1.4. This leads me to believe that the extension code on the extension site that was last updated in 2009 may have fallen victim to the API changes with AOO v4.0.0. I also would like to see this working in AOO 4.2.0 as I see it as a way to possibly rejuvenate the documentation effort. Whether it is done as an update to the external extension or done inside the source is irrelevant from my point of view. What is relevant is that having it functional would be a good enhancement to the product as well as provicing the potential of benefit to the project. Regards Keith
