Anybody with thoughts on this.

I know there is LibreOffice online, not sure what that is like,  rather 
than re-inventing the wheel, it seems we need to improve what is on 
offer,  as you said if the current offering is 'terrible', then creating 
a better option from scratch won't stop people having a look at the 
other versions, getting the wrong impression generally about everything 
else.


Are we trying to build a like for like alternative or a privacy / user 
choice / open standards respecting alternative to google / ms office. 
The latter in some ways needs to be our selling point.


It seems there are too many apps, perhaps it would help if they pooled 
together and worked on one single app that is of really good quality.


Is anyone planning a talk at LibrePlanet in 2021,  it may be a way to 
raise awareness the project needs help,   I think there is still a call 
for proposals,  or perhaps there is a libreofficeconf online that we can 
help to promote.
