Restarting LibreOffice Online

LibreOffice online is a web-based version of the LibreOffice suite that canbe hosted on anybody's infrastructure. This project was put into stasis back in 2022, a move marked bysome tension with Collabora, a major LibreOffice developer that has its own online offering. Now,the Document Foundation has announceda new effort to breathe life into this project.

We plan to reopen the repository for LibreOffice Online at TheDocument Foundation for contributions, but provide warnings aboutthe state of the repository until TDF's team agrees that it's safeand usable - while at the same time encourage the community to joinin with code, technologies and other contributions that can be usedto move forward.

Meanwhile, thispost from Michael Meeks suggests that the tension around onlineversions of LibreOffice has not abated.
