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

I am having same impression. You actually do not need a cloud, for me it 
was just a 'bridge' to edit docs on a thin client like a tablet that I 
do not want to connect to a network share. I would not even use this a 
lot, but I thought it would be easy and quick to realize, after seeing 
the videos on youtube with all this bla bla on how libre office online 
is so nice.

Well, I wasn't trying to start a flamewar or a drama episode or 
anything. I didn't know collabawhatever was a thing.

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.
