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

[Tamás Zolnai]

Dear Marco,

Are you aware that LibreOffice Online and Collabora Online is the same
thing right now, they have the same source code (different versions of the
same source code). TDF is in the middle of making a decision, what to do
with LibreOffice Online. LibreOffice Online master branch was cloned from
Collabora Online master branch recently. I guess this is the reason for the
confusion here.

So please don't be disrespectful to the other community members as Tor, or
Collabora as a whole (which I'm also part of). It's funny that you say
Collabora does nothing, but "declare a variable in Javascript", while in
the same email you are speaking about how well LibreOffice Online works,
which was mostly developed by Collabora.

Thanks,
Tamás
