You can’t expect to meet the challenges of today with yesterday’s tools…

…and expect to be in business tomorrow.
This OpenOffice/StarOffice plugin allows you an easy way to export and import your documents from OpenOffice.org 2.0.4+ or StarOffice 8 to Google Docs & Zoho. Also works on OpenOffice3 Beta2.
As usual with Google, it is in Beta. Everything is in Beta, it seems:)
In Ubuntu Hardy & later, to enable the Options, you need to tweak Java, as that is a requirement. Simply go Menu Tools -> Options -> Java, and select the latest Sun Java 1.6 you have installed - mine is 1.6.01. (It needs at least 1.6).
Known gotchas:
Won’t update docs, just upload new ones and download old ones.
Forget any other type of format at the moment but documents - no presentations of spreadsheets at this stage.
There are some other issues and fixes on the wiki page.
