Interesting: Docs is the result of a joint effort lead by the French 🇫🇷🥖(DINUM) and German 🇩🇪🥨 governments (ZenDiS). We are always looking for new public partners (we are currently onboarding the Netherlands 🇳🇱🧀). Feel free to reach out if you are interested in using or contributing to docs...

Calligra and LibreOffice already exist though. I am not against this in principle but couldn’t they have invested in an existing FOSS project?
While both of those are great software. Unless I'm not aware of something they aren't cloud/network based office suites like Google docs and office 365.
It seems this is an alternative to office software where you can work simultaneously and share documents in the same cloud/network.
I don't think there is an alternative to office 365 and Google docs at this point that is open source. So this seems like a great project and I'll definitely be considering it for our company.
What about Collabora Online? It integrates nicely into Nextcloud, but I am not sure about pricing for business use.

Thanks I'll definitely check that out. I've seen some posts about it working on Synology Nas devices so that's very interesting.
If you ever diverge away from proprietary Synology solution, NextCloud has 100% integration with Collabora too.
There's onlyoffice for cloud based office
OnlyOffice has a lot of ties with Russia/CIS. I'd personally avoid it on that basis.
Do you have Amy sources on that

Onlyoffice seems a little slack on the security and updates. I saw the warnings in the desktop package, have they made sure the online offerings are secure?
what do you mean?
If there are issues like this, sounds like a good goal for a country that wants to divest from US tech companies.
There is nextcloud and others you can self host at least.
Im pretty sure there a version of only that os could based. Let me get back to you
A lot of government programs don't really make sense and are there just to put a name on a CV sadly. Collabora Online does exactly that and is primary licensed under Mozilla Public License.
They could have easily expanded Collabora. But you know, can't stamp your name on it.
To be fair, though a new project might not be as efficient as improving another, projects learn off each other, and sometimes it's good to have developmental 'competition', and variety.
Wait LibreOffice has a cloud?
Note: The LibreOffice Online repository at TDF is temporarily frozen. Updates on this will be published on our blog and on our website.
yeah
Can either of those do collaborative editing? I usually think of that feature when I think of Google Docs
