Online

Slashdot reader darwinmac writes: The Document Foundation (TDF), the
organization behind LibreOffice, has decided to bring back its LibreOffice
Online project which been inactive since 2022. Collabora, a company that was
a major contributor to the original LibreOffice Online, is not pleased with
this development. After the original project went dormant, Collabora forked
the code and created its own product, Collabora Online. Collaboras Michael
Meeks, who also sits on the TDF board, reacted to the TDFs decision by saying
that a fully supported, free online version already exists in the form of
Collabora Online, and that resurrecting a dead repository makes little sense
when an active, open community around the online suite already exists. For
now, The Document Foundation plans to reopen the old repository for new
contributions. The organization has issued a warning that the code is not
ready for live deployment and users should wait until the development team
confirms it is stable.
