A few comments on human factors. Although this looks like it might be exactly what I want, for a person unfamiliar with the terminology it is not at all clear how to proceed.
In Administer Wiki, I see Applications, but the only thing which seems to pop out is 'Extension Manager' which claims to not really be safe to use yet. And it is not clear where an extension is synonymous with a plugin, which is what the OfficeImporter is documented as being.
You missed the "OpenOffice Server" administration section? From there you can start the OpenOffice server, which is used by the office importer module to import/convert office documents. Of course, you need to configure the OpenOffice server connection first, and this is described on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Applica... (there is a link to this page from http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Features/OfficeImporter ).
Well, I installed pretty much everythings which said libreoffice, as that is the Ubuntu and Debian standard. Then I changed the openoffice.homepath=/usr/lib/openoffice/ Rebooted the VM just to be sure everything was updated. Force the current page to clear on my laptop. In the Administer->Configuration->Open Office I tried to 'Update'. It replies: "Failed to execute the [velocity] macro"
