I haven't looked at it yet and wonder how it holds up against #libreoffice + #collabora and the likes.

The fact that it has some large funders behind can be both a #curse and/or a #blessing (for #foss an #opensource in general)!

At any rate I will give #eurooffice a spin at some point!

@woosting If you're already familiar with OnlyOffice: It's the same thing. It's a fork of OnlyOffice.

@markusr ah yes! Thanks for pointing that out! I indeed experimented with #onlyoffice at some point (I did chose #libreoffice as my daily driver back then for reasons I do not quite remember. Possibly #UX based).

A fork you say.. Is there an overview on how #eurooffice differs from #onlyoffice at this point somewhere? Oof.. I also see that the fork sparked a #license dispute.. 🤔

Hmmm.. let's see how this all spins out!

ONLYOFFICE flags license violations in “Euro-Office” project

The “Euro-Office” initiative is an evident and material violation of ONLYOFFICE licensing terms and principles of international intellectual property law.

@woosting Perhaps because OnlyOffice doesn't offer mobile support (it does, but it's a paid feature). I don't know how much Nextcloud (and other members of the consortium) have already invested in further development of Euro-Office. I think we'll have to wait and see 🙂

@markusr Possibly indeed and probably more in a similar light.

Also they appeal to morality/referral-oblegations (rightfully so or not; I did not dive into the "rabbithole").

Let's see what happens indeed.
