The open-xchange web office is part of their larger suite including mail,
calendar, messenger et alias.
Their marketing page:
https://www.open-xchange.com/en/ox-documents
As their main customer are telcos the main customer use case is editing a
mail attachment, which not involving real-time editing. Therefore the
collaboration feature is up to now with a pessimistic lock, only one at the
time can edit the document.
Kind of funny, as the operation approach was designed to deal with the
optimistic approach in the first place.
Other advantages in the end of the PDF (525kb)
<https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49473263/ACM-WorkInProgress-Interoperable-Document-Collaboration%20-%20withLicense.pdf>
.
If you want to see it work you might want to get in touch with them, there
are binaries and some installation page:
https://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=AppSuite:Open-Xchange_Installation_Guide_for_Debian_7.0
The source code for the front-end is creative common none commercial, see
http://oxpedia.org/wiki/index.php?title=SourceCodeAccess
There are two other open-source rich text HTML editor I have stumbled over
recently, but which AFAIK are not supporting office formats, but might be
worth mentioning:
http://prosemirror.net/
http://quilljs.com/
as I am currently looking deeper into them and trying to persuade them to
join the operation camp ;)
They seem related to this approach
https://github.com/ottypes/rich-text
using implicit positions, while the explicit positioning seems easier for
the user (or using applications) to deal with merges.
Enjoy your day, Georg!
