Calc2Dokuwiki
Export tables from OpenOffice.org to Dokuwiki!
Dokuwiki is a powerful collaborative wiki I use as a Web2.0 notebook for my research project, and as an interactive plateform for the researchers I work with. Although its simple syntax allow rich text formatting, the coding of complex tables is not ergonomic at all. What else but a spreadsheet program would be the perfect environment to design tables?!?
Thus, I designed the Calc2Dokuwiki extension for OpenOffice.org 2.x/3.x Calc (the spreadsheet module) to automatically generate the formatted Dokuwiki code corresponding to a hand-selected range of cells in Calc. View screenshot.
Speeding up your productivity by outputting flawless Dokuwiki code does not only save your time and energy, but it also facilitates collaborative practices with your colleagues!

Calc2Dokuwiki is distributed under the CeCILL and LGPL licenses. The extension is an archived file which contains the source code of the extension (rename .oxt into .zip). Feel free to use, distribute, or improve!
Install and use
Integrate OpenOffice.org in your Web2.0 environment...
Download the extension and use the Tools/Extension manager to add it to Your extensions. Since OpenOffice.org 2.1.0, you only need to double-click on the .oxt file to install an extension. Note: for OpenOffice.org 1.x users, download the macro code calc2dokuwiki.bas and personalize your Calc interface by associating the Calc2Dokuwiki_Main sub with this icon: 
.
Calc2Dokuwiki adds a button in the Calc interface, which converts a selection of cells into a table in Dokuwiki code. The code is generated in a new OpenOffice.org text document ready to be copy-pasted in your Dokuwiki website! A multiple selection of cells ouputs as many tables (in the same Writer document) as selections. View screenshot.
MoveText (beta version)
Re-arrange your ideas without loosing attention!
Cut-paste is fine but you don't remember what you've just cut? Tired of inaccurate drag'n'drop when moving your text? One click to activate MoveText and you have a large flexibility to move your text selection without leaving your keyboard.
MoveText adds this button 
in OpenOffice.org 2.x/3.x Writer interface (word processor), which (de)activates the extension. When activated, you can use the following key combinations to move your text selection:
- Alt+
/
moves selection sideways by character - Alt+
/
moves selection one line above/below - Alt+Shift+/ moves selection sideways by word
- Alt+Shift+/ moves selection one paragraph above/below
MoveText is released as a beta version! Contact me for feedback.

Wekatext2Xml
Convert Weka decision trees into interoperable XML files!
Weka is a complete and user-friendly data-mining environment I used for my research project. I needed to build editable decision trees and parsable for further classification. But Weka decision tree classifiers outputs the decision tree either as a Weka-syntaxed text tree or as a binary file (neither readable nor editable in a text editor).
Thus, I developed WekatextToXml to automatically convert a decision tree produced by Weka from its text-syntax (e.g. sample_decision_tree.txt) to an XML file (sample_decision_tree.xml). XML files are very easy to parse, you will find many libraries to handle them in every programming languages. View screenshot.
For the moment, WekatextToXml only works with trees produced by the J48 classifier (an implementation of R. Quinlan C4.5 algorithm) or any text-decision tree respecting this syntax. I'm working on an extended algorithm wich will handle CART decision trees as well.

License
For the moment, Wekatext2Xml is released as a freeware. It will hopefully be released someday as an OpenSource software, in order to give you access to the code of the program.
Use
To use Wekatext2Xml, you just need to download it and to have Java (version > 1.5.0) installed on your computer. On this screenshot, you can see the Wekatext2Xml GUI. It has 2 buttons:
- the top right one opens a file chooser which lets you specify where is the .txt file containing the text-syntax decision tree (here, it's sample_decision_tree.txt),
- the bottom on converts and automatically saves the decision tree into an XML in the directory of the source file, with the same name and an .xml file extension (here, it's sample_decision_tree.xml).
