A js library that renders OpenDocument Format docs in the browser, and lets you edit them collaboratively in realtime - with lovingly, meticulously crafted OT.
We worked on this with 2 years of active development - it is HARD to build a full richtext editing engine from scratch! - but it has recently been suffering from a lack of enough funding to keep the work going. I no longer get paid to work on this, so now there is only one person working on it full-time.
It deserves funding and support. As far as I know there isn't any other project that comes this close to building a full blown FOSS Google Docs text editor replacement.

- Volundr 11y agoDarn, I actually went to the site looking for a 'donate' button, but it looks like it's commercially backed. I definitely want something like this to exist.
- adityab 11y agoThe project can take donations and we did work supported by grants from the NLNet Foundation (http://nlnet.nl/ http://nlnet.nl/) for a while. It is commercially controlled in the sense that KO GmbH has a CLA that contributors sign. But the project itself is AGPL (with pretty standard dual-licensing). Thanks for the kind words! :)
- pestaa 11y agoWow, this is huge. This might actually replace a whole category of intranet wikis.
- pritambarhate 11y agoReally cool. Best of luck. Hope it succeeds!
