Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Re: When will be a Web-Version of OOo/LO available?

The issue for doing LO/OOo as a web-based package is who hosts it and 
how many will be allowed to use it.

What I was talking about is that it is not just making an online version 
but the rest of it.  If you have a limited market that will use it, then 
it can be done, but not if you have a not-for-profit organization 
footing the bill for the servers, etc..

As for using Wind-power and solar cells to power the servers, etc., it 
is a good idea.  Big server farms are moving to year-round cold areas to 
reduce power use on cooling down their server farms.  Using wind power 
and solar power will be a good was to be "green" and that is always a 
good idea for the company and the world.

I would like to see an online version of LO and some big company having 
it usable for people world wide, either for free or a low monthly fee.  
If people are creating the open-source code to make LO, or OOo, work as 
a server side package, I applaud it.  But the hosting of that package is 
where it will be limited.  It would be nice for a company that has the 
resources like Google to offer to host such a package for the masses.

As a marketing thought, having an online version of the package should 
promote the desktop/laptop versions.  The other day I saw an ad for a 
used 10" net-book style of system.  Even though the tablet market will 
take over that market, we need to have LO work on their screen sizes and 
limited resources.  Later, hopefully our developers will develop a 
version of LO that would work from a Micro SD card for use with a 
tablet, like Nook and Kindle, plus any Android tablet out there.  I know 
that there is a portable version of LO, but for Windows.  Once it runs 
on Android, via the SD card of thumb-drive, it will be great news for LO 
users.  Then they will have LO, maybe limited though, on their mobile 
devices of 7" to 10".  I understand that there are people working on an 
Android version.  I wonder if there will be an iPad version worked on as 
well.
