Hi;
I wrote an article in support of LibreOffice, submitted it to lxer.com, and
it was their top story of the day: http://keithcu.com/wordpress/?p=3163
Some of what I wrote might be impolitic about a sensitive issue. I'm not
trying to troll this old topic, I just write about important things I ca

I'm working on a proposal for building an experimental new LibreOffice

be changed and a few more tweaks, but I'm interested in feedback. Feel

Hi;
I just replaced my ancient Thinkpad with a Hi-DPI Lenova Yoga 2 Pro.
QHD+ screens are finally arriving in PC laptops and make text much
nicer to look at. The Yoga is the cheapest, but there are a number of
models on the market and more on the way.
In general, LibreOffice works well but has a
Hi all,
I came across a Microsoft AI video that I thought was interesting and
food for thought here. The link shows the demo of AI features in
Office: https://youtu.be/H_X1ZuM6ZJU?t=1h12m27s
It shows an auto-designer, a better grammar checker, Intranet search
and easy copy/paste, nice pen gesture
I recently discovered that the Turing Institute is supposed to become the
UK's national research laboratory for AI. I've also seen they are supporters
of FOSS. Perhaps people in that Institute (or others) could be convinced to
do some practical research projects in LibreOffice. They have interest i
Hi all,
I have two ideas to consider.
1. Have you thought about creating a plugin for realtime collaboration
without running in a browser? I'd love to be able to hand out
LibreOffice invites to other people to work on shared documents, or
even connecting to a Google server, but continuing to do a
Hi all;
I had an idea that you could offer to let people triple-license their
changes. LibreOffice can become an upstream of Apache with this change. That
way people not interested in setting up build servers, etc. can work here
while Apache setup the infrastructure. Given the state of the code du

The problem with building a reader is that it would be about the same size
as LibreOffice. OpenDocument is very different from PDF. For those who can't
install LO, they probably can't install the reader either.
