Hi, I am not really facing any technical issue. But I am wondering what the pathway forward for office integration now is? We now have a situation of Nextcloud Office actually being Collabora, which by themselves have a feud with the Libreoffice foundation (rightfully so, they are actually doing th…

I’m enough of a capitalist to believe that haha. But I also could not have imagined the emerging stupidity of the LibreOffice foundation board, essentially firing their most valuable contributors. But I think that’s just what you get sometimes.

[image] markusdd: I’m enough of a capitalist to believe that haha. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to say that Nextcloud or Collabora are only in it for the money. But money is needed to keep the lights on at a company and pay the developers. And that’s why, in my opinion, it would be fooli…

Yes. I do not have any issue with them making money, quite the contrary actually. The best FOSS projects are usually backed by sustainable funding. Devs need to live and good devs are not cheap. That is why I am more angry towards the LibreOffice Foundation. They are not recognizing who iis actua…

i usually mout the webdav as a network drive to my computers and use that to edit documents directly on the cloud. This has served me quite well so far.

I don’t even use rich text editors anymore if I can help it, and for the two or three actual documents I still need to edit per year, or the occasional simple spreadsheet, LibreOffice on the desktop or Collabora Online in the browser works equally well. I don’t know, I probably use less than 5% of t…

That will work when NOT co-editing documents.

Indeed - for personal use. However, as a productivity suite, co-editing and version control, is crucial. For more serious work in an organization, you use templates for formal branding, uniform communication and so on. And spreadsheets are still a great tool for working with data and/or subsets of c…

Absolutely. In order to convince organizations to switch from M365 or Google Workspace, you need a full-fledged office solution with all these features. And of course, there are also home users who use them more extensively than I do, and they will certainly benefit from it as well. :slight_smile:

I too am very confused about this whole issue. I had OnlyOffice working and we could seamlessly edit documents in the cloud, but now our committee have to down load them the upload the revised copy, which is not ideal. (We are using shared hosting from Hostinger) When will Euro-Office be availabl…

[image] markusdd: In my view - when MS Office compatibility and cross platform usage is of importance - it is the better solution right now. I used to say, the more important thing than MS Office compatibility is: When you send a document in ODT format, anybody on any operating system can vie…

I am confused about the office situation - What is the plan here?
