> There has been a conflict building up within the LibreOffice ecosystem, with Collabora publishing a desktop version of their web-focused LO-based suite, while TDF (The Document Foundation) has decided to hire several developers to work on an on-line and potentially mobile version. So, essentially, both "sides" are taking each other on, even though a plurality of LibreOffice commits are made by Collabora employees. There have also been some "beheading" in the form of the expulsion of a few members of the TDF, particularly the former long-time TDF board-of-directors chairperson who is with Collabora (previously Allotropia) and a couple of others - a highly contentious decision which some argue is contrary to the TDF statutes.

> This is a no way a complete or a fair summary of everything that has gone on; and it's been simmering for a number of years now.

> Due disclosure: I am a TDF trustee.

so this is just to say that they will start developing the online version.

I believe with the help of ai tools they can accomplish it in a shorter time.
