• Restarting LibreOffice Online

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Wed Feb 25 06:40:09 2026
    LibreOffice online is a web-based version of the LibreOffice suite that can
    be hosted on anybody's infrastructure. This project was put into stasis back in 2022, a move marked by
    some tension with Collabora, a major LibreOffice developer that has its own online offering. Now,
    the Document Foundation has announced
    a new effort to breathe life into this project.

    We plan to reopen the repository for LibreOffice Online at The
    Document Foundation for contributions, but provide warnings about
    the state of the repository until TDF's team agrees that it's safe
    and usable - while at the same time encourage the community to join
    in with code, technologies and other contributions that can be used
    to move forward.

    Meanwhile, this
    post from Michael Meeks suggests that the tension around online
    versions of LibreOffice has not abated.
