Re: Is there any effort or discussion yet about collaborative use of libreoffice applications?

Thanks for the info everybody. I found the mention in 2012 and it seems telepathy was the solution to the communication problem. That's basically the piece of the puzzle that I've got, and since there's already a plan, that's probably the way to go.

I realize it's a huge undertaking which is why it's slow to get going, but it's definitely a cool idea.

thanks again for the pointers.

    Dear Stu,

    don't worry. Marc really got a point but probably Tor believes
      you're not able to declare a variable in _javascript_ and tries to
      sell you Collabora products :-).
    There is *official* documentation about how to build, configure
      and run LibreOffice Online here:
      https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/LibreOffice_Online
      .
    LibreOffice Online is substantially an in-browser wrapper of the
      core of LibreOffice so that you have the same
      stability/capabilities that you have in the desktop version,
      online. Collaborative editing is supported and pretty
      well-working.
    You can integrate it into your application using the WOPI
      protocol.
    Feel free to ask in the ML if you have any problem compiling or
      running LOOL.

    Best,
    Marco

        Well, I wasn't trying to start a flamewar or a drama
          episode or anything. I didn't know collabawhatever was a
          thing.
        but a) it looks like a commercial product? b) it sounds
          like they just run libreoffice on a web server and project the
          instance to whoever's on that webpage. c) somebody has to
          supply the 'cloud' that it runs on.

        I'm a big fan of fat clients. ms word and libre office will
          always be superior to google docs (in my opinion only
          obviously) because it runs locally on my machine. What I was
          getting at was a way to make a fat client collaborative.

        But if there's no interest, I'll drop it.

        Thanks for the info.

          :) No but is really a question. I want to try a bit this libre
          office 

          online and I am not even able to get a simple test environment
          running 

          that creates a odt file that I can edit from multiple clients.

          Even the manual of libre online online ~50% writing about
          other 

          products/services.

                  Why do people send collabra office stuff on a libre
          office mailing 

                  list???? The question is clearly about libre office.

          Oh sorry then. I will now go back in the corner to enjoy my
          popcorn.
