@RealJournalism Sorry, but what's new about it? It's pretty much a nextcloud skin using collabra office, which is based on libreoffice, a fork of openoffice.org, a rebrand of Star Office Suite after Sun bought the company a very long time ago.

This is a culmination of a very long line of commercial closed, commercial open, floss open and hybrid floss/commercial open software that's been in development for more than three decades. I welcome it, but the only thing new is the particular vendor.
