Re: [tdf-discuss] Features enterprises will love to have in LibreOffice
Well said! Being installed in India, I have seen first hand how un-wired people are around here. So a plain desktop is still a must for the next little while. Looking at the future, I am remembering the Web4All event at the WWW conference. There was a constant focus on enabling the Web for mobile phones. Longer-term, I'm guessing that smartphones' prices will keep on going down over the years, so that the average Indian will eventually be able to have a mini-computer in their pockets. By then, everyone should have enabled 3G services on their mobiles and the providers may even be giving 3G-like speeds on their networks. I'm guessing that Westerners will have 5G by then :) Now, until we reach that point, I think LO should consider building something that is very light to download. At one rupee per Mb, it can add up very quickly. Maybe a Web-enabled option would make sense, but it should be a very no-frills thing.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Features enterprises will love to have in LibreOffice
Hello, I believe the best feature for the enterprise will be to port LibreOffice to HTML5, this could be also installed locally in the clients, needing just a browser to run. If LibreOffice doesn't go in direction WebBased, it will be soon irrelevant in the enterprise (as soon as Google Docs, MS Docs, Zoho, Oracle cloud Office, IBM Cloud Office, etc. are mature enough), since Enterprises want to deliver Standard Applications directly in the browser, with no need to administer on premise installations and support.

I have used Google doc's a number of times, and in all honesty for my business i would really consider using a web based version when out of the office as it functions like a centralized storage until i get back to the office. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
Re: [tdf-discuss] Features enterprises will love to have in LibreOffice
Hello Christoph, sorry, but an HTML5 LibreOffice could be also installed locally in a client, as I said before. And the LibreOffice Community will only have to maintain one HTLM5 version for any platform. Now there are 3 versions, Linux, Mac, Windows. So, as conclusion, a HTML5 LibreOffice has following advantages: - SaaS - HTML5 also allows offline usage, basically the Google Gears Technology is being implemented into HTML5 - Local installation is also possible in any desktop! - Platform-independent - Only one main version for all! Saving the parallel development Cheers! Jaime On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 12:15, Christophe Strobbe christophe.stro...@esat.kuleuven.be wrote: At 11:48 19/01/2011, Jaime R.
