[HacktionLab] Online document editing software (free (as in beer))?

[Mike Harris]

Thanks all.  It seems then that it’s a horse race of two.  We have a very nice working well owncloud install, so upgrading to nextcloud seems like unnecessary work.  Cryptpad looks interesting and I like the working demo on the web site.  OnlyOffice seems really complex to set up.  The web page about it did with my tldr impatience! :P. Also there’s a lot about licences for multi-user installs that seemed to imply it would get expensive to use….  Anyone else paying for licences for it, or have I missed something there?

Cheers, and again, thanks for the input.

Mike.

Though the both use OnlyOffice as the backend, the Cryptpad implementation seems a lot snappier and has been pointed out does much more.
