Description

When dealing with migration process, like when using the CMIS Output Connector to ingest content into an ECM (Alfresco in my case), it would be better to have the Google Docs native documents exported as some of the editable formats, like MS Office or Open/Libre Office formats.

The reason for this is that users would like to keep updating content after it is ingested into the ECM.

 

I have this already "fixed" in my github fork at https://github.com/douglascrp/manifoldcf/tree/release-2.10-changed

 

I would like to contribute to the project if you guys find this an useful improvement.
