It is inevitable that collaborative working via the web will become the
norm. For most of the international work I do with Word Processing and
Spreadsheets, shared concurrent use has become essential. It means I'm now
using these mostly for regular jobs that at the time I start them don't
need collaboration but I don't know that at the time so its best to start
out like that just in case. For Spreadsheets now it is almost exclusively
Google because I don't need anything particularly complex, I need to share
the info. WP more and more. I just did a handbook for our latest quals in
Google exported to pdf and then uploaded to Lulu. Covers in Inkscape.
Shared inkscape/draw would be good but not there yet.

So I think it is a dilemma for both TDF and Apache as to whether to divert
resources into an open source web version of the software or plough on
competing with MSO for a desktop space that looks like becoming a paradigm
of the past.

Shame really that the resources could not be combined so that one project
concentrated on the desktop and the other a cloud version. Then rivalry
between the two could largely be of positive rather than negative benefit
to both.
