| 819608 | 2009-12-10 21:29:00 | Totally agree BM. PF1 is a place people ask questions and hopefully get answers. Heres a legit question relating to OOo and I dont know or cant find the answer to in google - When will Open Office be making web based documents ? Google has google Doc's, MS are working on web based - and there are a few others as well. Web based will be a major feature of 4.0 at this point, it's being worked on right now. I doubt that it will run on OOo servers however because that will require an income stream to pay for it and I doubt Oracle/Sun would fund that completely. However it will be available to anyone else to set up on their servers to perhaps generate an income stream, perhaps one of the other corporate partners like IBM or Novell might run with it. It's still very much in the concept stage however, so anything could happen in the future. The way things are going, having web based documents in the future will be the "in thing". There is a new paid service in Beta www.ooanywhere.com/ (http://www.ooanywhere.com/) that has nothing to do with the project, I haven't tried it because I'm on dialup and it's the full suite running in a browser so I've heard that it's pretty slow first time up. There's a trial period and it runs on Windows and Linux but apparently a little flakey on Mac Darn it now I'm getting all promotional! :D |

The link posted -- Yes big places like Google and MS can afford to "fund" their own, BUT If I read that page correctly, they want to charge people per hour for web based apps ?? THAT will be a big turn off, considering there are free options available. I'm only mentioning the below because my name was referred to; That particular part of rule 8 I asked about several times which Wainuitech has studiously avoided answering. Far from it - Jen posted in 147 her "advice" - isn't me thats carrying on about promoting - others also made comments. I was referring about "using the forum to promote products and services" As I know its unpaid work that people do in OOo. Please dont bring that up again, as it will only suggest what was mentioned. |
