I use to deal with a lot of Visio documents. DIA may still be able to load these files, but I had problems installing my copy of Visio onto Win-Vista so I had to drop using it. Now that Ubuntu is my default system, I needed to find alternatives to Visio as well. To be frank, MS Publisher files are not supported in most third-party software, and Visio files use to work with DIA diagram editor. It would be great if some really ambitious person would make a filter/extension that would give LibreOffice the ability to read those files and maybe even edit them.
Eilidh McAdam is doing some work on Visio import as a Google Summer of Code project: http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr/wordpress/?p=813 There is code in a git repository, at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/libvisio/ And for the ones who just want to see nice pictures, Fridrich Strba's weblog has some posts with screenshots: http://fridrich.blogspot.com/ -- Nuno J.
