Sure, if we are talking the Android editing, then of course, I know what you are talking about. The work consisted of 478 commits, 265 of them were clearly marked as "android". The remaining 213 commits may still have been Android-only (and the author just forgot to mark them that way), or may have improved (the pre-existing, funded by CloudOn, Smoose and others) LibreOfficeKit with functionality needed for the Android work (I'd need to check commit by commit to tell you the exact number, so the 213 is the upper bound - it could be less). Anybody can check the reports, Collabora has published them previously: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/TDF0002-report-M1.pdf https://www.collaboraoffice.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/TDF0002-report-M2.pdf LibreOfficeKit was indeed important for what has started as LibreOffice Online thanks to the seed investment from IceWarp, but was just a part of what was necessary for the LibreOffice Online development. The completely missing bits, not existing previously & not paid by TDF, were the server and the JavaScript renderer of the tiles. To put the 213 commits to perspective, the server and JS bits were 12489 commits at the time of the Online repository move to GitHub. It is hard to count the commits done to LibreOfficeKit (ie. to LibreOffice core) before and after the TDF Android editing tender; but I suppose there were thousands, and they are still part of LibreOffice, of course. None of the server & JS commits were paid by TDF, it was all funded by IceWarp, Collabora itself & many others, and the price that TDF has paid for the 213 commits was marginal compared to the other work that made the Online happen. Please don't get me wrong though - I am really grateful for that, every cent counts, and especially counted the 8 years ago; for people at Collabora, those were hard (but exciting) times with very unpredictable future. And for the avoidance of doubt - all these 213 commits were needed for the Android work, none of them was done speculatively for a potential Online use later.
