Restarting LibreOffice Online

Description:
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.
