What are OpenOffice backers doing for cloud/mobile era? | ZDNet

Sigh: conclusions reached without much research, it seems. There are actually several efforts underway to deploy OpenOffice (or any full ODF editor) as a cloud-based service, accessible via desktop or cloud. One in particular, demonstrated at the Brussels ODF Plugfest, uses HTML5, but others are looking to native iOS apps. The point is that the public sector and many, many consumers want this. (Can anyone say, "Kickstarter"?)
