Sessions
Collabora Online has a novel model that allows re-using the
LibreOffice code-base to provide rich collaborative editing. Recently
we have been been focusing our development on improving the 'feel' and
slickness of document editing as a key part of user experience. We
have also been working on improving editing performance with larger
numbers of concurrent active editors.
Come and hear about the things that we've found and fixed, both in
COOL and also in the LibreOffice core to improve interactivity and to
make collaborative editing fly.
