I don't know if you read my recent posting on the typo3org-list but this 
is really not such a big issue, unless you want to write the whole 
docs.typo3.org project:

1. The uploading infrastructure needs to be done (not sure if we can use 
parts of the old TER).
2. The content rendering is next to trivial since Robert's officelib 
works like a charm for single and multiple HTML, so does PDF-creation 
(and probably ascii output) with scriptable Openoffice which I am 
working on.

The only issue I see is making officelib work with the new odt format. 
Robert has stated last week that he doesn't have a schedule for that but 
maybe he can tell us if he likes help...

Greetings,
Michael

PS: Whatever became of the idea to write a real staging/LPE solution for 
TYPO3?
